Prepare the Bread:
Start by trimming the edges of the whole wheat brown bread and cutting each slice diagonally into triangles. Set the triangles aside for later. -
-
Melt the Chocolate:
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh cream and dark chocolate chunks. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely, achieving a smooth and creamy consistency. Once melted, add the vanilla extract and remove from heat. -
Toast the Bread:
Using a bread toaster, toast the prepared bread triangles until they are crisp and golden brown. Once toasted, generously spread softened butter over each piece and set aside. -
Toast the Seeds:
In a skillet over medium heat, add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seeds. Roast these seeds for about two minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even toasting. Once fragrant and lightly browned, remove from heat and set aside. -
Assemble the Toast:
Arrange the toasted bread slices on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of the melted dark chocolate mixture over each slice, allowing the chocolate to cascade down the edges for a tempting look. -
Add the Seeds:
Sprinkle the toasted seeds generously over the chocolate-covered toasts, ensuring each piece is adorned with a crunchy topping. -
