Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Spread
- 2 slices thick, crusty bread (sourdough, multigrain, etc.)
- 2–4 tbsp pistachio cream (pistachio crema, crema di pistacchio)
Toppings
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped, shelled pistachios (unsalted)
- Honey for drizzling
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt, optional
- Edible rose petals for topping, optional
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or pan fry on medium heat with a little butter until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Spread Pistachio Cream: Evenly spread 2 to 4 tablespoons of pistachio cream over each slice of toasted bread to create a rich and nutty base layer.
- Add Banana Slices: Arrange the fresh banana slices evenly on top of the pistachio cream for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Top with Pistachios and Honey: Sprinkle chopped unsalted pistachios over the banana for added crunch and texture, then drizzle honey to taste for a luscious sweetness.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt and edible rose petals on top for a gourmet finish. Serve immediately while the toast remains warm and crisp.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or multigrain to hold the toppings well.
- Pistachio cream can vary in sweetness and consistency; adjust quantity as desired.
- The honey and sea salt balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor profiles.
- Edible rose petals add a lovely aroma and visual elegance but are optional.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based butter or skip the butter when pan frying the bread.
