A Toast To Brunch: Just Add Bread

Hey, a toast roundup is not a cop-out! Toast is an important part of brunch — it's what your eggs present themselves on, and first impressions are very important. It's the stuff breakfast cereal tries to be. Toast is only as great as that which it ferries to your mouth, be it a vegetarian take on British deviled kidneys or simply the glowing yolk of a soft-boiled egg. Figure out how you'll make your toast the happiest piece of toast in the world.

• Deviled Mushrooms on Toast
• Truffle Poached Eggs and Toast
• Eggs Rothko
• Welsh Rarebit
• Soft-Boiled Eggs with Toast Soldiers

And if toasting bread is just about all you can do at this hour, Cinnamon Toast.
