Sweet Cereal Parfait with Toasted Nuts

1.Preheat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt.

2.Add the chopped mixed nuts to the skillet along with a pinch of salt and ground cinnamon. Toast the nuts, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes or until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

3.Toast the slice of whole wheat bread until golden and crisp. Once cooled, cut into small cubes to use as crunchy toast croutons.

4.In a clear glass or parfait cup, start by adding 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt as the base layer.

5.Sprinkle a layer of mixed breakfast cereal (about 2 tablespoons) evenly over the yogurt.

6.Add a few toasted nuts and a small handful of fresh strawberries and blueberries on top of the cereal layer.

7.Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the fruit and cereal.

8.Repeat layering with another 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, followed by cereal, nuts, and fresh fruit.

9.Top the parfait with the toasted bread cubes for added crunch and a final drizzle of honey.

10.Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy yogurt, fresh fruit, crunchy cereal, toasted nuts, and crisp toast cubes.

11.Optional: For an extra touch, garnish with a small mint leaf or a light dusting of cinnamon before serving.
