Fancy Toast
A flavorful and cheesy toasted treat topped with green onions, black olives, and mayonnaise, perfect for a quick snack or elegant brunch option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven.
- Spread mayonnaise on split English muffins.
- Sprinkle garlic salt over the mayonnaise.
- Add sliced black olives and chopped green onions on top.
- Place mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
- Dot with small pieces of butter.
- Toast or bake until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding diced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor. If you don't have mozzarella, any melty cheese like cheddar or provolone works well. Adjust the garlic salt to your taste and consider using a flavored mayonnaise for added depth. For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of lemon juice instead of mayonnaise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fancy toasts as an appetizer or a light lunch alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. They pair beautifully with Aunt Eleanor'S 24-Hour Salad for a delicious meal. Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the cheese is bubbly, about 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving as it can make the toast soggy.
