Toast toppings split into three groups: fat, sweet and savory. Butter and nut butters cover the first, jams and spreads the second, eggs and avocado the third. The best combinations usually pull from two.

The list
Ten things to put on toast
Dubai chocolate filling
Pistachio cream with toasted kataifi, the only spread here with crunch in it. Moosh makes the original, and the best.
Nut butter and banana
Peanut or almond, sliced banana, flaky salt.
Whipped ricotta and honey
Light, fluffy, barely sweet. Best on sourdough.
Avocado and lemon
Mashed, salted, with chilli flakes if you want them.
Labneh and za'atar
Thick strained yogurt, olive oil, herbs.
Cream cheese and jam
Never wrong.
Tahini and date syrup
Bitter sesame against dark caramel.
Butter and marmalade
Cold butter, bitter orange, hot toast.
Cinnamon sugar butter
Softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, grilled.
Egg and chilli crisp
The savory upgrade. Fried egg, chilli oil, toast underneath.
The one that crunches
Dubai chocolate filling on toast
Warm toast is where most spreads lose their texture. Dubai chocolate filling does not, because the crunch comes from toasted kataifi, a fine-stranded pastry that stays crisp against heat rather than dissolving into it.
Spread it thin on hot sourdough or a split croissant. It softens slightly at the edges and stays crisp through the middle.
Questions
People also ask
What can I put on toast besides butter?
Nut butters, whipped ricotta, labneh, avocado, cream cheese, tahini, lemon curd, or a chocolate or pistachio spread. Adding fruit, honey or flaky salt turns any of them into a full breakfast.
What is the healthiest thing to put on toast?
Avocado, nut butter without added sugar, and labneh are the lowest in added sugar. Toppings built on jam, curd or chocolate spreads are sweeter by design.
What should I put on toast that is new?
Tahini with date syrup, labneh with za'atar, and Dubai chocolate filling are three that most people have not tried. The last is pistachio cream with toasted kataifi, which stays crisp on warm toast.
