Times are estimates. Hands-on time is included in the total.
Tools: Toaster, knife, plate, small dish
Texture and flavor: Some nights, buttered toast is what sounds good. I can put that on a plate with a few things from the fridge and sit down to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1 fully cooked soy-honey egg
- 2 oz sliced deli turkey
- ¼ cup pickles
- 1 apple
- 1 tsp butter
How to make it
- Toast and butter the bread. Slice the apple and halve the egg. Arrange everything in separate piles, using a small dish for the pickles.
Make it work for you
Easier: Use an egg you made ahead. The time estimate assumes the egg is ready.
Sensory swap: Build the plate around one thing you already want. The rest can be whatever is easy to reach.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container. Use within 3–4 days.
Ingredients and allergens: Wheat, egg, milk and soy as written. Check the bread and deli turkey labels.
At the counter
A small dish for the pickles keeps the brine away from the toast. Put each item where you want it, and start with the bite you’re looking forward to.
