Our research spotted six themes under the toast umbrella\u2014all offering opportunity for menu differentiation. Artisan toast not only answers consumer demand, it also works well operationally. You can assemble them from inventory items, and they perform nicely across dayparts\u2014from breakfast and brunch to bar snacks, lunch and dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Sweet Toasts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/gfs.ca\/fr-ca\/ideas\/recette\/crouton-salami-et-confiture-de-tomates-et-figues\/\">sweet and savory<\/a> works beautifully on modern menus. Fruit jams, chocolate spreads, rich breads\u2014all help build intriguing flavour combinations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Meat-centric Toasts<\/strong><br \/>\nChefs are using toast as a carrier for both deli- and charcuterie-inspired meats. Underpinning those bigger flavours are umami-rich accompaniments like miso butter or sweet counterpoints like jam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Seafood Toasts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe seafood category is red hot on menus right now, so it makes sense to combine seafood with toast. The seacuterie trend, where seafood is cured like charcuterie, fits the toast platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Veg-Forward Toasts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe veg-centric opportunity is fueled by consumer demand and will affect menus for a long time to come. With toasts, chefs are creating beautiful presentations that lead with flavour-forward veg-centric ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Knife-and-fork Toasts<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThese robust presentations require utensils. They impress with size and heartier ingredients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Avocado Toast 2.0<\/strong><br \/>\nAvocado toast is the granddaddy in the toast trend. Now chefs are making avocado toast more elaborate, adding more textures and flavours into the builds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Hungry for more?<\/h3>\n<p>Contact your Sales Representative or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/gfs.ca\/fr-ca\/ideas\/culinary\/\">gfs.ca\/ideas and click \u201cRecipes\u201d <\/a>to find culinary inspiration for your menu.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take on the toast trend with one or all of these six creative iterations.
