I’m sure by now you guys have seen a billion avocado toast combinations out there. Avocado toast is so tasty and definitely a personal favorite, but it seemed to come into popularity more recently and left me wondering what happened to the classics like cinnamon toast, cheese toast and simple toast with jelly and butter!
As a kid, one of my favorite after-school snacks was cheese toast. I’d place a slice of cheese on a piece of bread and stick it in the toaster oven until the cheese melted. It was so darn good and simple and while I still love a classic piece of cheese toast from time to time, today I’m excited to team up with The Laughing Cow® to #ReinventSnacking and put a fun new spin on traditional cheese toast!
If you guys have been reading PBF for a while, you already know I’m a big fan of The Laughing Cow® spreadable cheese wedges. In my first trimester and the beginning of my second trimester, scrambled eggs with a wedge or two of The Laughing Cow® cheese stirred in was one of my biggest cravings! (It’s a winning combination you must try if you haven’t already. So creamy and cheesy!)
Today’s cheese toast combinations are perfect for when hunger strikes in the middle of the dreaded mid-afternoon slump. They feel a little more special than typical snack foods and a crisp slice of toast topped with a creamy wedge of cheese and some additional toppings creates the perfect snack time pick-me-up!
Below you will find a few cheese toast combinations I put together with The Laughing Cow® Creamy Asiago cheese wedges.
Cheese Toast: 5 Ways
I started with a base of multigrain bread and, after toasting it lightly, spread a wedge of The Laughing Cow® Creamy Asiago cheese on top before adding the following toppings:
- Smoked Salmon with Scallions
The inspiration for this combination came from the traditional breakfast of bagels with cream cheese and lox but I revamped a bit for a snack time delight! Salmon is my favorite fish, so anytime I can incorporate it into my diet, I’m a fan. The flavor is fantastic and it’s such a great source of healthy omega-3s!
- Sliced Hard Boiled Egg with Red Onion, Salt and Pepper
The egg salad lover in me thought this combination was a winner. The red onion gave this cheese toast the perfect amount of zip! It was also incredibly satisfying thanks to the punch of protein from the egg.
- Thinly Sliced Pear with Salted Sunflower Seeds
I’ve always been a sucker for sweet and savory flavor combinations, so adding a punch of sweetness in the form of fresh fruit slices to a zesty piece of asiago cheese toast was right up my alley. And the sunflower seeds provided the perfect salty crunch!
- Tomato Slices with Pepperoni and Basil
Pizza tiiiime! I loved this cheesy combination and couldn’t get enough of the slightly spicy pepperoni and fresh basil. I think this one might be a hit with kids, too!
- Cucumber with Thinly Sliced Radish, Salt and Pepper
Anytime I can incorporate vegetables into my snacks in a delicious way, I am a fan. The crisp, refreshing cucumber and radish slices were a wonderful addition to a tasty slice of creamy asiago cheese toast!
Question of the Day
- What are some of your favorite toast toppings?

thank you so much, polly! this was such a nice comment! <3
i am not sure why my letter “r” is sticking on my keyboard. LOL. I meant to say YOUR in those posts. haha
Oh the smoked salmon one looks really good to me!! I have to admit, I just love avocado toast and don’t usually venture too much when it comes to toast. But I do love almond or peanut butter with banana slices and honey! yum!
Cheese toast is always my breakfast of choice. These all sound great. I need to put Laughing Cow on my grocery list, I never think about it.
Great combos! Just a note, your photo of the salmon and chives combo looks like it’s green onions (which are also called scallions) and not chives.
you’re so right!! i’ll update the post now. thank you!
Oh my gosh that pear and sunflower seed toast looks delicious! I’m thinking I may have to try your cheesy eggs on toast for breakfast sometime 🙂
they are seriously so good and creamy! i got my sister and two of my girlfriends hooked, too! 🙂
i love this idea especially about the cucumber and radish toast! i’m going to try that this week for sure. i love these kinds of new healthy snack posts!
Hi Julie, these look awesome! Just curious, what brand of multigrain bread do you use? I’ve been using Ezekiel bread but want to switch it up.
These little toasts are way cute. They remind me of English Tea sandwiches but healthy. Thank you for sharing.
The pear and sunflower seed toast looks AMAZING! Def love the sweet and savory combos. Not a toast, but I’ve been snacking on fresh ricotta with honey and sea salt, which is the BEST snack! Also, what app do you use to get the adorable fonts on your pictures? LOVE IT!
I love apple jelly on Ezekiel toast 🙂
Omg I LOVE this post!! Because I basically agree with everything you said here: “Avocado toast is so tasty and definitely a personal favorite, but it seemed to come into popularity more recently and left me wondering what happened to the classics like cinnamon toast, cheese toast and simple toast with jelly and butter!” Yesssss!
Thanks for these GREAT ideas. I am truly excited about these! I love laughing cow cheese, and I am always, always, always, looking for healthy snacks, and there are so many repeats online. Thanks for your great ideas! Yay! Buying some today (I have a grocery trip planned for staples.) Thank you!
Thank you for all of the ideas! What font did you use on the picture at the top, I LOVE it! 🙂
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Omgggg laughing cow cheese ? do you get free cheese as an ambassador?? I would not be able to control myself with that! I grew up in a third world country and laughing cow cheese was one of the few snack packaged foods we could get and it was my fav as a kid!
What are your favorite kinds of bread to use?
These all sound so delicious! I’ve never tried any of these combinations, but I definitely need too because I love cheese and toast. I like boring toast and PB and am also a big fan of toast with avocado, egg, and bacon.
Toast is about as fancy as I get when “cooking” in the morning. Sometimes for lunch I make an over-medium egg and eat it on top of a piece of toast with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese on it.
You know what I am most jealous of? The fact that you probably got to eat all of these after you were done photographing! Hah!
i miss laughing cow cheese, the spicy pepper jack is my favorite. they don’t import it here in budapest, and the local version just isn’t the same. this is making me homesick 🙂

I have been in SUCH a snack rut recently. These all look delicious. I’ve never had laughing cow cheese but I’m absolutely going to pick some up this week! These seriously look so tasty and I’m such a fan of quick satisfying snacks. The salmon one and the sweet/savory with the pears re calling my name.
Woah that smoked salmon looks amazing! I love avocado and a fried or hard boiled egg and some red pepper flakes!
I’ve seen avocado toast, hummus toast and TONS of nut butter toasts, but never cheese! I love all of these combinations because they’re so versatile but also really creative!
