Sweeten up breakfast time with this irresistible Berry Toastie recipe. You might normally only rustle up toasties with savoury, melty cheese middles, but we just know you’ll be obsessed with this fruity filling!
To prepare the creamy centre, we’ve mixed some sweetener into low-fat cream cheese. This is the perfect base to load up with all those juicy berries. Forget spending a fortune buying different kinds of fresh fruit – grab a frozen bag of mixed berries and leave a portion to defrost in the fridge overnight. All the flavour, fuss-free!
We’re using slices of light Danish bread to keep the calories nice and low. Once your sandwich is toasted to a golden brown crispiness, it’s time to dish it up with a drizzle of maple syrup and a little bit of icing sugar. All you need now is your morning cuppa!
We’ve made our toastie in a pan, but you can use a toasted sandwich maker if you have one.
What diets is this Berry Toastie suitable for?
This Berry Toastie recipe is suitable for vegetarians.
It can be made gluten free as long as you swap the bread for a suitable gluten-free version. To make the recipe dairy free, you could swap the cream cheese to a plant-based version.
As always, take extra care when cooking for people with allergies and be sure to use different utensils, cookware and preparation areas.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Berry Toastie?
Nope! This recipe is nice and simple, without any fancy ingredients.

If you prefer, you could use a toastie maker instead of a frying pan. This Global Gourmet by Sensiohome Sandwich Toaster would do the job nicely!
A good quality non-stick frying pan will come in handy for all kinds of recipes. We love this Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic Cookware 30cm Frying Pan.
