However, like with all things there is a method to the proverbial madness and you want your avocado toast to come out scrumptious and dashing looking, good enough to be on the cover of GQ. They’re an amazing snack for lunch, a light dinner snack and my very own personal fave – breakfast. Avo on toast is the breakfast of champions, glamorous enough and guaranteed…
We’ve all heard of steak and eggs. But there’s nothing written in stone that you can’t serve meatloaf for breakfast. Do that and you’ll become the culinary gangster in your household. It’s a sensational way to showcase leftover meatloaf, and there is nothing more original than this take.

Slices…
