Publisher’s Summary 

There is nothing more comforting and delicious than toast. And when you top it with a few cleverly paired ingredients, it becomes a full meal—not to mention pure bliss. In Bliss on Toast, Great British Baking Show judge Prue Leith toasts sourdoughs, focaccias, baguettes, flatbreads and more, then pairs them with everything from seasonal vegetables to meat and fish. The collection spans healthy, hearty, salty, and sometimes sweet. Ideal for a busy home cook who loves a full and balanced plate, the recipes are incredibly versatile and perfect for any time of the day: tomatoes, shallots, and oregano on black olive toast; grilled chicken tikka with yogurt on naan; smoked salmon, wasabi, and avocado on multigrain bread; and bananas and ice cream with brandy syrup on panettone. Bliss on Toast is as much a toolkit for quick fridge-raids as it is inspiration for seasonal delights. With 82 years’ experience of good eating and 60 years of cooking, writing about and judging food, there is no one who better knows what makes a meal bliss than Prue Leith.

My Review

I've survived 45 years believing bliss on toast was grilled white bread with Kraft American cheese singles but luckily Prue Leith has come along with Bliss on Toast to help me up my game. I mean, let's face it...just about ANYTHING on toast is delicious but some of these concoctions are exactly what I need for those days when I don't want the same old turkey sandwich or grilled cheese. I think my favorite is the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Avocado, & Zhoug on Rye. I had no idea what zhoug even was before I read this recipe. FYI, it's cilantro, garlic, cardamom, cumin, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and salt. Delicious, right?
