Spinach toast recipe - simple and easy to make breakfast toast. The mixture is made from boiled potatoes, chopped spinach and few spices.
The crispy bread with little spicy, tangy mixture; the best you can ask for. Love the flavor combination and texture. Try it once, you will also love this.
When I have leftover boiled potatoes in the fridge. I make this toast in the breakfast for sure. It gets ready in jiffy. Hubby loves to have it with some ketchup on top.
In the step by step pics, I have made it on the stove top. I have also mentioned the method to make it in the oven.
As one reader suggested in the comments below, you can also make this into sandwiches. Apply butter and cilantro chutney on the bread slices. Use this mixture as a stuffing. Close the sandwich with another bread slice. Toast in the toaster oven or you can grill them on grill pan or grill toaster. Thank you for the wonderful idea.

I love this idea and will try it out soon. I am sure my daughter who is a picky eater will also like it since she is a potato and spinach fan.

Kanan,
Just wanted to add that this toast can also be made up into sandwiches in a sandwich toaster. I make something similar with Methi ( Fenugreek ) as well as spinach. You can sandwich two slices of bread with the mixture between them - and then toast in the sandwich toaster with a little olive oil or butter. I have used both the stove top toaster and the electric toaster which will automatically slice your sandwich into two, and make two toasted sandwiches at a time. Love your website! Do visit mine...

If you don't have oven then toast bread in toaster and then spread chutney and then spinach-potato topping and sesame seeds. Make sure that topping is hot.
