- 2 tablespoons tahini (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes or sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread:
Toast your bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy. - Spread the Tahini:
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of tahini on top of each slice. - Add Toppings:
If you like a sweet contrast, drizzle honey on top of the tahini. For savory flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt, fresh ground pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture. - Serve:
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- For added protein, you can sprinkle chia seeds or hemp seeds on top.
- To make the tahini toast even richer, you can add some fresh cucumber slices, tomatoes, or avocado.
- You can adjust the thickness of the tahini spread to suit your preference—thicker for a more intense flavor or thinner for a more subtle touch.
