Directions
Step 1
1. Start by lightly toasting the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, about 3-5 minutes, depending on your toaster settings.

Step 4
4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of sugar-free fruit jam over the cream cheese on each slice. Gently spread the jam with the back of a spoon to create a thin, even layer.
Step 5
5. Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of sesame seeds evenly over the jam on each toast, offering a nutty crunch with every bite.
Step 6
6. Finish by garnishing each toast with 2 fresh basil leaves, gently pressing them into the top layer.
