1. BBQ Chicken Toast Ring
Cook the chicken breasts and shred the meat as soon as it has cooled down. Mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce, and spoon the mixture between the slices of bread. Sprinkle the ring with shredded cheddar cheese.
2. Hawaiian Toast Ring
Stack a slice of ham, pineapple, and cheese between each slice of bread.
3. Plum Jam Toast Ring
Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon together. Pour the mixture over the bread slices and add the plum jelly.
4. Bacon Brie Toast Ring
Layer a bacon strip, two pear slices, and a piece of brie between each slice of bread.
Finally, wrap the entire plate loosely in aluminum foil and bake the dish at 360°F for 18 minutes.
