Gourmet Granola Toast Recipes with Labneh, PB&J, and Mascarpone

Shake up your lunch routine or take your weekend brunch game to the next level with these stunning gourmet toasts—each one showcasing a unique combination of seasonal fruit, creamy spreads, and Garden Granola®. Originally created and styled by our social media manager, Melissa @the_queenship, these toast recipes are as beautiful as they are satisfying.

All three are built on a base of toasted sourdough bread. To make them gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free sourdough. And for a fully vegan version, simply substitute your preferred dairy-free cream cheese or yogurt-based alternatives.
