    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most days I opt to have oatmeal because it is fast and easy to make. However, some days I just need a change and something different for breakfast instead. On those days I usually have avocado toast.

    Because.

    Well.

    Avocado toast is totally a thing. It has basically taken over my Instagram feed and there are so many beautiful versions that you cannot help but give it a try. The only problem that I usually have with avocado toast is the avocado itself. The avocado is either too hard and not ready or I forget all about it and it becomes too ripe for me to use and I have to throw it away instead. The avocado has to be the perfect amount of ripeness to be able to use it on toasted bread.

    But there are other ways that toast can be enjoyed and I love to get creative with my breakfast toast.

    Cream cheese is another great option to top toasted bread because there is no need to wait for the perfect avocado. It also has a creamy mild flavor that pairs well with bolder flavors. For this recipe, I decided to top the cream cheese toast with some macerated strawberries and a sprinkle of fresh basil. This toast is definitely fancy, the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and surprisingly filling. The fresh sprinkle of basil on top adds another layer of flavor as well as a bit of freshness. Be sure to save this recipe for Strawberry Cream Cheese Toast and try it soon.
