Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the cream cheese spread in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Healthier Option: Use whole grain bread and swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt or avocado.
- Sweet or Savory? Adjust the sweetness by drizzling honey or making it savory with herbs and avocado slices.
- Fun for Kids: Let kids decorate their own toast with different toppings and colors!
