Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ground cumin, chopped red hot chili peppers, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to blend.
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
- Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the zucchini into rounds.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are tender and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Lightly toast the slices of white bread until they are crisp and golden brown.
- Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
- Arrange the cooked zucchini slices on top of the yogurt layer.
- Sprinkle the cooked peas over the zucchini slices.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the vegetables are tender.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh peas and zucchini for a brighter flavor and better texture. Fresh ingredients make a significant difference in the overall taste of your dish.
- Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a milder toast, reduce the amount of red hot chili peppers or remove the seeds before chopping to lessen the heat.
- Toast Bread Evenly: Make sure to toast the bread slices evenly to achieve a nice crunch. Use a toaster or grill the bread slices with the cooking spray oil for a golden-brown finish.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the green toast immediately after preparing to keep the bread crisp and the topping fresh.
Green toast is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a healthy meal packed with flavor and nutrients. The creamy Greek yogurt combined with fresh veggies offers a satisfying texture and taste. Enjoy your green toast as a wholesome breakfast or a delectable snack!
