Berry Nutty Toast

Berries and nuts make a wonderful toast!

Summer is the season for berries but luckily for us, we get berries all year round! I usually use the berries for smoothies or a bowl of müsli (like the Aviva Müsli) but one day, I decided, it was time to use them differently. After looking at what I had in my kitchen, I decided to make a breakfast toast that combines the fruitiness of Müsli and the nuttiness of my favorite spreads and voila! I came up with this recipe.

Washing the fruits took most of the preparation time since chopping the walnuts and some basil leaves took just a couple of minutes. In a way, it seemed like I was making a bowl of Müsli except that I didn't put in the grains.

There was the bowl of fruits on the one hand, and in the other, I covered the toasts in different nutty spreads. I wanted to experiment on which spread tastes better, peanut, almond or sesame? It turns out, all of them! Then again, you can always decide, which you prefer most and make more of them!
