    Move over avocado toast, you are soo 5 years ago- I'm sorry, I didn't mean it- I still love you Avo! But why should avocados get all the love? My beet toast with crème fraiche and dill is just what your toast has been missing.

    I just love "fancy" toasts as I like to call them. I mean all I ever put on toast growing up was butter. But when you start to experiment, toast can be a blank canvas to play with. This beet toast with crème fraiche and dill is so fresh and tasty, and it doesn't hurt that it has such a gorgeous pink hue. I mean toast never looked so pretty right?

    The crème fraiche and dill complement the beets so well. Add a pop of your favorite greens and you have a healthy lunch or cut them into smaller sizes to serve as an appetizer at your next brunch party.

    Top Tips

    • Crème fraiche can be found at your local supermarket, but it can be pricey. If you are looking to cut down on costs, sour cream is a great substitute. Both have a slightly sour cultured taste. In a pinch, cream cheese would work here as well.
    • Wear gloves to remove the beet skins after you roast them, if not, your hands will stain (although I think pink hands are pretty cool). Also, allow the beets to cool before removing the skins. I know you really want to get to making this toast, but trust me, you will burn your precious fingers. After all, you need them for eating!

    Equipment

    • baking sheet
    • toaster

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 medium beets
    • 2 slices bread of choice whole grain, rustic or sourdough are good choices
    • ½ cup crème fraiche
    • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
    • 1 cup microgreens or arugula
    • olive oil and balsamic vinegar for drizzling
    • 2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 400°. Wash the beets and remove the tops and roots- no need to peel. Wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil. Roast for about 50 minutes or until fork tender.
    • Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool, use your fingers to slip off off the skins (make sure the beets are cool enough to handle). Slice into ¼-1/8 rounds. Set aside.
    • Toast the bread until golden and firm.
    • In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill and crème fraiche. Divide the crème fraiche mixture and spread evenly over each slice of toast.
    • Place the sliced beets over the toast, overlapping so they cover the bread.
    • Add greens, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic, and sprinkle the tops with the flaky sea salt and dill. Serve immediately.
