This is one of my favorite quickie snacks, which I often eat for breakfast. I love the crunch of the warm, toasted sunflower seeds on a slice of chewy whole-grain bread. The next time you need a snack and feel like having something different, give this recipe a try. If you expect friends or family members to come sniffing over your shoulder, you can always prepare additional slices.
Ingredients
- 1 slice Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 1 tsp Margarine (or enough to spread thinly over your slice of bread)
- 1 slice Vegan cheese
- 1 tbsp Raw unsalted sunflower seeds
- A sprinkle of seasoning salt
Instructions
- Spread a thin layer of margarine onto the slice of sandwich bread.
- Lightly sprinkle seasoning salt over the surface of the bread.
- Center the "cheese" on the bread slice.
- Spread the sunflower seeds evenly over the cheese. I like to really pack them on there, which may turn out to be more than just one tablespoon.
- Toast the bread in a toaster oven until the sunflower seeds and the edges of the bread start to brown (or to taste).
Tips
- I like to use Tofutti soy mozzarella-flavored slices for this recipe.
- You can skip the cheese slice entirely if you want to, but you’ll have to watch out for rolling sunflower seeds: the cheese helps to hold them on the bread.
- I like to use Spike seasoning salt, but just about any salty spice mix will do. Another excellent alternative is to spread a little Vegamite or Marmite over the margarine instead of the seasoning salt.
