Beans on Toast for One

This is a simple English-style breakfast. You may not have had it, but once you try it, it will become a regular item. It’s fast, it’s filling, and it’s yummy!

1 slice of homemade bread (or store-bought, if that’s all you’ve got), toasted

2 TBLSP vegan cream cheese

4 TBLSP cooked beans (canned is fine. I like cannellini beans, but any will do)

1 green onion, chopped, greens and all

1/3 ripe avocado, sliced

2 TBLSP vegan cheese, shredded

Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Put the bread slice onto a tray, plate, or baking pan that can go under the broiler.
2. Slather the cream cheese on it (the bread, silly, not the pan).
3. Pile the beans on top of the toast in such a way that it’s spread nicely to the edges.
4. Sprinkle the green onion on top of that and spread out the avocado in yet another layer.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the whole mishegas and festoon with salt and pepper.
6. Put it under the broiler for 5 minutes (you’ll want to watch closely to keep it from burning).

Slice it into two pieces if you want to pick it up to eat it, or use a knife and fork as if you were a civilized person.
