Create the ultimate Christmas morning with a DIY sourdough toast bar.
Looking for a fun and interactive way to celebrate Christmas morning? A DIY Sourdough Toast Bar is a perfect way to kick off the holiday! This allows everyone to create their own toast masterpiece and start the day with a warm, festive breakfast. Here’s how to set up a fun, make-your-own-toast station:
Setting Up Your Toast Bar
Start by slicing your sourdough into thick, hearty slices. You can toast them lightly or leave them fresh, depending on your preference. Provide a selection of toppings, both sweet and savory, to satisfy every palate. Some ideas include:
- Whipped honey butter: A warm, sweet option that pairs beautifully with toasted sourdough.
- Cinnamon-sugar: For a cozy, spiced topping that’s perfect for the holiday season.
- Nut butters: Almond butter, peanut butter, or even cashew butter add a rich and creamy texture.
- Fresh fruit preserves: Raspberry, strawberry, or apricot preserves are a delicious way to sweeten your toast.
- Scrambled eggs: For a savory twist, top your toast with fluffy scrambled eggs and perhaps a sprinkle of cheese.
Sourdough with Holiday Spices
Take your toast up a notch by incorporating holiday spices. Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your whipped butter or sprinkle it on top of your toast. You can even create a spiced butter blend with cloves or allspice for a deeper, festive flavor.
Savory Toast Toppings
Not a fan of sweet toppings? No problem! Try these savory ideas for your Christmas morning toast:
- Avocado: A creamy avocado spread topped with a sprinkle of sea salt and red pepper flakes.
- Smoked salmon: Pair sourdough with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a drizzle of lemon for an elegant touch.
- Scrambled eggs with cheese: If you’ve got leftover holiday ham, add a few slices for a heartier toast topping.
A Family Tradition
Not only is the toast bar a fun way to get the whole family involved, but it’s also a wonderful way to make memories. Let each person personalize their toast with their favorite toppings, and savor the moment together as you start your Christmas day.
