Roasted Red Pepper Toast With Feta

On the days I have not given myself time to eat breakfast (or lunch), I’ll toss this little gem into the toaster oven hiding in the corner of my tiny RV kitchen. I like that it’s quick, healthy and portable with a lovely combination of gooeyness and crunch that makes you feel like you ate something substantial.

Simple, hormone-friendly recipes are just one part of what I do here at Finding My Fierce. If you’re a woman over 40 and want to learn about rebel wellness, feral confidence, perimenopause and reducing overwhelm, I’m your people. start here

Ingredients:

(see printable recipe list down below)

SERVINGS: 1 piece | Start to finish:

• 1 slice (30 g) multigrain bread (see Tips)

• ¼ cup (32 g) roasted red peppers, sliced and drained

• ¼ cup (32 g) crumbled feta cheese

• 1 tsp (1 g) dried dill

• Olive oil for drizzling (approximately 1 tbsp / 15 ml)

How to Make This

1. Preheat the broiler. I use a toaster oven and set the temp for 450℉ and the “broil” setting

2. Arrange bread on a sheet pan. Cover with roasted red peppers and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle feta over the peppers and broil until the feta is melty and toasted, about 9 minutes in my toaster oven. Your broiler could take less time, so keep an eye on it.

3. Remove. Lightly sprinkle dill over each toast and drizzle with olive oil, if desired, and enjoy

Real Talk About Multi-Grain Bread

Read the multigrain bread label carefully — multigrain is a marketing term, not a nutrition guarantee. Many multigrain breads use enriched white flour as the first ingredient with a small amount of whole grains added for appearance. For insulin resistance (IR), look for a bread where a whole grain or sprouted grain is the first ingredient, with at least 3g fiber per slice and no added sugar in the first five ingredients. Ezekiel sprouted grain bread is the gold standard IR option. A genuine sourdough made with whole grain flour is the second best — the fermentation process lowers the GI significantly.

Before You Go

This recipe came out of the same place where I write the rest of this blog: in a vintage RV parked in the woods next to a river, where I write about rebel wellness, fierce confidence, simple living and hormone friendly meals for women over 40 in perimenopause and menopause.
