White bean toast with arugula and olive oil is a simple and healthy recipe that combines the creamy texture of white beans with the peppery bite of fresh arugula. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a nutritious snack, these toasts are not only delicious but also packed with protein and fiber.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse and pat dry the arugula leaves. Set them aside.
- If using canned white beans, drain and rinse them under cold water.
- Place the whole-wheat bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler.
- Toast them until they are golden brown and crisp.
- If you prefer the white beans warm, you can heat them in a small saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through, or microwave them in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute.
- Place the toasted bread on a plate.
- Divide the white beans evenly between the two slices of bread, spreading them out to cover the surface.
- Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each slice of bread to enhance the flavor and add some richness.
- Top each slice of toast with a handful of arugula.
- You can add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste if desired.
- Serve the white bean toast immediately while the bread is still warm and the arugula is fresh.
Tips:
- Toast the bread until it is perfectly crispy to provide a satisfying crunch when combined with the creamy beans.
- You can mash the white beans slightly with a fork before spreading them on the toast for easier application and better texture.
- Adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to the topped toast can enhance the flavors.
- Feel free to add extra toppings such as cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for added complexity.
