Tostadas con Dulce de Leche

Crusty bread does the heavy lifting here, with dulce de leche rounding it out. An Argentinian breakfast that takes 10 minutes, start to finish. At 515 calories and 8g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 4 slices Crusty bread
• 1/2 cup Dulce de leche
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Slice the bread thick — about 3/4 inch — so it toasts crisp outside and stays chewy inside.
2. Toast in a hot dry skillet or under the broiler until golden on both sides.
3. Butter while hot so it melts into the crumb, then spread each slice generously with dulce de leche.
4. Serve immediately with coffee; the dulce de leche should be just warm enough to slump into the toast.
5. For the full café experience, serve with a cortado — the bitter coffee against the sweet dulce de leche is the Argentine morning in miniature.
