Ingredients

4 slices of whole grain bread

1/2 cup tahini

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Sea salt, to taste

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Fresh herbs for garnish (such as mint or parsley)

Instructions

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.

Prepare the Tahini Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, honey or maple syrup (if using), lemon juice, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to your liking.

Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the tahini mixture over each slice of toast, ensuring it covers all corners.

Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed nuts evenly over the tahini spread, followed by the vibrant pomegranate seeds for a sweet-tart burst.

Garnish: Finally, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of color.

Serve: Cut the toasts in half or quarters for easier handling, and serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
