FAQs

To make the best jam on toast, start with high-quality bread made with real ingredients. Sourdough, Hi-Fibre Lo-GI, or a hearty Wholegrain work well. Toast it until it’s golden and crisp, then spread a generous layer of butter while it’s still warm (or swap for cream cheese like we have above). Finish with a spoonful of your favourite jam, such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot. The key is using fresh, mouthwatering ingredients and striking the right balance between sweet and buttery.

Cream cheese toast can be topped with both sweet and savoury ingredients. Popular sweet cream cheese toast ideas include sliced strawberries, honey, fig jam, or cinnamon and sugar. You can even top with blueberries and turn it into a delicious toasty. For a savoury twist, try smoked salmon, avocado, cherry tomatoes, or cracked pepper with a drizzle of olive oil. The mild, creamy base of cream cheese pairs well with loads of different toppings, so enjoy experimenting!

Yes, cream cheese goes very well on toast. Its smooth, creamy texture spreads easily and adds a rich, tangy flavour that complements both sweet and savoury toppings. Whether paired with fruit and honey or smoked salmon and herbs, cream cheese is a versatile and delicious choice for toast.
