Ingredients
- 4 slices good quality white or brioche bread
- 3 tbsp European cultured salted butter (like Kerrygold), room temperature
- 1/2 cup authentic Dutch chocolate hagelslag or rainbow sprinkles
Directions
1
Toast bread lightly
Toast bread slices lightly so bread is warm but not dried out.
2
Generous butter layer
Spread a thick, edge-to-edge layer of butter on warm bread so sprinkles adhere.
3
Scatter hagelslag
Pour sprinkles generously over butter. Press down gently with flat side of knife. Cut into triangles and serve.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Don't skimp on the butter—it acts as the edible glue that holds the sprinkles in place.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
