Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious toast:

2 slices of whole-grain bread: Toasted to your preferred level of crispiness. Whole-grain bread adds extra fiber and nutrients, but you can substitute with sourdough, rye, or gluten-free options.
2 tablespoons almond butter: Creamy or chunky, depending on your preference. Almond butter provides a rich, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with pears.
1 ripe pear: Thinly sliced. Look for pears that are ripe but still firm to ensure the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
1 teaspoon honey: For drizzling. If you prefer a vegan option, maple syrup works beautifully too.
Optional toppings: A sprinkle of cinnamon, a handful of granola, or a few chopped almonds for extra crunch.

Let’s break this down into easy-to-follow steps to ensure your Almond Butter and Pear Toast turns out perfectly every time.

Preheat your toaster or toaster oven and toast two slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown. Aim for a level of crispiness that will hold up well under the almond butter and pear slices without becoming too hard to bite into.

Pro Tip: For extra flavor, lightly brush your bread with olive oil before toasting.

Once the toast is ready, use a knife or spoon to spread a generous layer of almond butter on each slice. Start from the center and work your way to the edges for even coverage.

Pro Tip: If your almond butter is on the thicker side, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to make spreading easier.

Wash your pear thoroughly and pat it dry. Cut it into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Remove the core and seeds as you go. Arrange the slices neatly over the almond butter, slightly overlapping them for a visually appealing presentation.

Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, squeeze a little lemon juice over the pear slices to prevent browning and add a touch of tanginess.

Using a small spoon, drizzle honey over the pear slices in a zigzag pattern. Adjust the amount based on your desired level of sweetness.

Pro Tip: Warm your honey slightly for easier drizzling and a more even distribution.

If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the toast or add a handful of granola for crunch. Chopped almonds or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate are also excellent choices.

Pro Tip: For a seasonal twist, sprinkle a bit of nutmeg or cardamom alongside the cinnamon.
