About

Things on toast just taste better. It is reliable, delicious, and easy to prepare. I adore it underneath a bowl of brothy beans. It is comforting after I’ve braised all day and am still too darn lazy to make potatoes, or really anytime I need a warm, buttery snack.

One summer we spent many a weekend at Chad’s studio in Ghent. With only a hammock and a grill the two of us put together some pretty lovely meals, and I coined the term “fancy toast,” which simply means piling ingredients you generally utilize in other ways on top of grilled bread. Here are some of my favorite examples, and no, you need not a grill nor a hammock to assemble them.
