A bright and sweet toast option for breakfast or mid-morning snack!
Berries and basil are both in season during the summer months, making this toast an excellent summer breakfast. It’s naturally both sweet and savory. The berries and the honey will satisfy your sweet tooth while the lemon zest and the olive oil satisfy your savory cravings. This berries and basil cream cheese toast is delicious, easy, and healthy. Basil and berries contain antioxidants, and whole-wheat bread is high in fiber and rich in B vitamins. We upped the health factor even more by using fat-free cream cheese. It’s a breakfast you will love and feel good about eating.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cream cheese non-fat
- 2 teaspoons pure honey
