We have a new obsession … cheese toasts! It all started when I discovered both an awesome bread baker and cheese maker at our farmers’ market. For months now, as soon as we get home we chow down on the pictured Orange + Honey toasts for breakfast using the fresh ricotta and also sliced mint leaves. This combo was inspired by something I saw in a magazine (sorry, can’t remember which one), and my older daughter, in particular, cannot get enough of this stuff!
Then we had friends over one night, and I decided to make some of these toasts and add them to a board with some other cheeses, crackers, and fruit. It was a hit! So I had the idea to make more “fancy” white cheese toasts! I tried a few more combos when I was hosting a “girls night in” at my house with some good friends, and then I made even more options for my family for a snack. They are all so yummy and hearty—this could honestly be your whole lunch or dinner for something different. We love a snacky meal every now and then!

Such a great and classic combination of flavors! The color of the beats are stunning! Definitely going to make this as an appetizer for my next dinner party
I just made this for my breakfast, really yummy and easy to made, add different topping such as blueberry or avocado also not bad.
I’ve been eating “yummy” toasts like this my entire 58 years . Avocado toast was our family favorite. My Grandma always made them for us when we would go to visit. I started using various smashed cheeses as a teenager. Every time I make a “yummy” toast for my own grandchildren I am reminded of my grandma and they taste even better. Thanks for posting these -maybe grandchildren in the future will think of their grandma’s… Passing on the love. Blessings.
Aw, love this. :) – Nicole
These cheese toasts caught my eye because they reminded me of the Smorrebread I had in Copenhagen last year. You’ve got some really creative combinations, I’m interested to try the orange and honey. Cut into small pieces, these would totally make great party snacks.
This looks healthy and tasty! Cant wait to try it.
Everything on your site looks amazing! I started dairy, gluten and sugar free with my family about 8 years ago and I appreciate all of the hard work that you are doing and sharing!
Hi Lisa! These look amazing. When was this first posted because when I just click “blog” link…I don’t see it anywhere. I can only get to it if I scroll to the bottom of your homepage and it’s listed or if you go to recipes but just ‘blog’ it’s not there. Anyways…been following you since my son was born…and he’s going to be 10 this year!!! OMG! Was wondering what bread your using these days? Do you always make it or are you purchasing?
Hi Tiffany. We’ve changed our blog a little bit, so now recipes only show up under the Recipe tab. This is recipe was published on January 22nd. Lisa found a great bread maker in NC (https://verdantbread.co/), as well as still makes her own from time to time. :) – Nicole
