👨🍳 Instructions
Toast the whole wheat bread until golden and crisp.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Burning the bread, which dries it out completely.
- ✕
Drizzling on too much honey, which drowns the toast.
- ✕
Using soft white bread, which turns this into empty-calorie toast.
🔄 Variations
Top with thin apple slices instead of banana.
Add a thin layer of peanut butter under the honey.
Swap the bread for a hearty rye slice.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Best eaten immediately after toasting.
- 📦
Plain toasted slices can be frozen for up to 1 month and re-toasted.
💡 Chef Tips
Tip 1: Toast the bread extra crisp so the honey does not soak straight through.
Tip 2: Use a quality raw honey for deeper flavor.
Tip 3: A tiny pinch of sea salt cuts the sweetness and rounds out the taste.
Tip 4: Warm the honey in the microwave for 10 seconds so it drizzles easily.
