Tasty Toasts 4.0 -- Thai Chile & Peanut Butter


The latest installment of Tasty Toasts takes a twist. This one probably sounds a little crazy -- like someone probably had a little late night substances influencing this crazy combination.  Just think of Pad Thai flavors. It really does work.

Spread some crunchy peanut butter while the toast is still warm (it tastes better if it melts a little bit .. I'm pretty sure that's a scientific fact).  Then hit it with a few splashes of a Thai Chile paste or Sriracha sauce. Add fresh cilantro, torn to release the flavor. And then top it with thinly sliced green onions.  If you're feeling really inspired, you could add a little course salt and some lime juice to really round it all out.

There is sweetness & heat, with a floral component, and the bite of onion.  If you think this is crazy, just try it once. You might be pleasantly surprised.


It isn't as weird as peanut butter and pickles that I had with some college buddies after the bars!
