This Gourmet Peach Toastie on Sour Dough Bread Recipe makes eating low carb simple to meal prep and provides protein and dietary fibre without overdoing it on calories. But before we jump into the recipe, here's why this recipe is so good for you:
High In Lean Protein
You can use any high protein spread like cream cheese, protein yoghurt, or plantbased options such as hummus, bean dip or nut butters. Protein is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function; you need at least 50-70g of protein per day. Start the day off with a good hearty serving and help balance your blood sugar levels and appetite stay stable all day long.
Good Source of Healthy Fats
Both cheese and nut butters provide a good clean source of healthy fats, including monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help keep you feeling satisfied. Fat from wholefood sources, also helps to maintain your energy and keep your appetite in check.
Nutrient-dense Toasties
If you choose a wholefood-based bread like sour dough that is naturally rich in essential nutrients and easy to digest, toasties make a healthy, quick and easy breakfast or lunch. Focusing on an unprocessed bread loaf that is made from whole grains is also provides an excellent source of dietary fibre to help keep you full, your gut happy and you regular.
Fresh Fruit Serving
This gourmet toastie recipe calls for fresh, in-season fruit which is naturally high in dietary fibre and provides a clean dose of essential vitamins. Pairing fruits with both dietary fibre and protein, is a great way to slow down the natural hit of fructose and reduce it's impact on blood sugar levels. If you are going low carb or haling from insulin resistance, striking the right balance with your food choices is key.
The takeaway? It's important to note that while this gourmet toastie recipe has several health benefits, moderation is still important--you can overdo it on the healthy stuff too!

Batch Cook & Meal Prep
Yes, you can easily meal prep this gourmet toastie recipe as a staple breakfast. Aside from the bread, you can prepare the fruit in advance and store in tubs in the fridge for a different gourmet toastie several times a week. Most chopped fruits (with exception of banana) will last 2-4 days in a sealed tub and makes for easy pickings. Just be sure to vary the spread and fruit type to ensure a balance of nutrition throughout the week.
Healthy On A Budget
If you’ve got the time, making your own bread is such an easy way to save money and take control the nutrition of what goes on your plate. So, if you’re following a specific diet for allergies or to avoid certain ingredients, bake your own bread from scratch, it's cheaper than you might think.
If the thought of baking is too much stress right now, I totally get it. Instead, shop around for a good-quality sourdough from a local bakery or a trusted brand that uses real, wholefood ingredients without all the sugar, preservatives and unnecessary fillers. Aldi Australia is surprisingly good for this and regularly stocks sourdough, low carb and gluten-free bread loaves and wraps that are all naturally high in fibre (6g per slice or more). As someone who’s coeliac, I’ve tried a lot of options, and Adli bread is my go-to as a Nutritionist, and even the gluten-free loaves taste great too!
Food Allergies & Sensitivities
Got allergies or sensitivities? No worries, this gourmet toastie recipe is super easy to adapt. Simply swap the sourdough for a bread that works better for you, like gluten-free, low-carb, or one made with safe ingredients you feel good about consuming. If you’re avoiding dairy, skip the cream cheese and try a delicious vegan alternative like a cashew-based spread, hummus, a smooth bean dip, or even a quality raw nut butter. Fun fact, there’s always a way to make healthy foods work for your body and your lifestyle simply by making a few tweaks to a recipe.
