Toast

Think: bacon and cheddar sandwich, but on a crouton. These bite-sized snacks with crispy crusts will leave all the other hors d'oeuvres in the dust.

Beans and greens are great on almost every carb: in tortillas as tacos, over rice, on flatbread. But whenever crispy, skillet-fried toast is an option, you should probably take it.

Crispy roasted broccoli works just as well as an appetizer as it does a side dish when scattered over garlicky, ricotta-slathered toasts.

Juicy, jewel-toned, peak tomatoes need little meddling: Thick slices of toasted country bread spread with a garlic-mayo schmear and sprinkling of sesame, chives, and lemon zest add just enough interest.

Topping fried bread with brothy mussels, beans, and tomatoes turns it into a hearty knife-and-fork dinner.

Fried bread is our contribution to the classic Niçoise. Here, oil-packed tuna gets a boost from mayo flavored with garlic, sherry vinegar, and smoked paprika, plus mixed fresh herbs.

This simple dish of fresh smashed avocado, ripe heirloom tomato, and perfectly poached eggs is finished delicately with fresh lemon juice, herbs, and sea salt.

Rich truffle butter and a heap of radicchio di Treviso put this "toast 'n' eggs" in a class of its own.

Savory fruit toast is the new avocado toast. Other combinations we’re crushing on: lemony yogurt with cucumbers, almond butter and pears.

Layer slices of toasted baguette with creamy goat cheese and sugar-crusted blueberries for a sweet-and-savory hors d'oeuvres that is sure to please.

Buttery, eggy brioche makes this French toast extra-decadent, but Southern-inspired buttered pecans and bourbon maple syrup take it over the top.

Herb butter—made with whatever herbs you have sitting around—is an excellent landing pad for a perfectly fried egg. Thinly sliced radishes add a refreshingly crisp bite.
