I recently received a packet of Finn Crisp’s original crispbread in my May Degustabox. This immediately inspired me to share some of my favourite crispbread toppings, especially since I’m always looking for ways to eat a bit healthier.
Crispbread is a fantastic canvas for so many flavours, and you can make your snacks as simple or as complex as you like. As a fan of keeping things easy, here are the top five simple toppings I love to load onto a crunchy rye crispbread.
1. Cottage Cheese with Freshly Ground Pepper
Cottage cheese is easily one of the most popular crispbread toppings, and for good reason. It’s packed with protein, making it a satisfying choice that keeps you full for longer.
You can find all sorts of varieties at the supermarket, from plain to those mixed with onion, pineapple, or herbs. I personally love to add a generous twist of black pepper and some freshly chopped chives for an extra burst of flavour.
2. Cream Cheese with Piquanté Peppers
Just like cottage cheese, you can find cream cheese in lots of different flavours. I often reach for a light garlic and herb version, like the one from Philadelphia, which is delicious and creamy.
For the perfect finishing touch, I added the Pepperdew piquanté peppers that I got in a previous Degustabox. Their sweet and slightly spicy kick is a perfect match for the creamy cheese.
3. Pâté and Sliced Olives
I could probably eat pâté and olives every day. For a delicious vegetarian option, you could try a mushroom pâté from a brand like Tartex, which has a wonderfully rich and savoury flavour.
While traditional pâté can be a bit rich, a thin layer is all you need. Top it with some sliced green Castelvetrano olives for a buttery, mild flavour that doesn’t overpower the pâté.
4. Hummus and Sun-Dried Tomato
This is another classic pairing made more exciting with the intense flavour of sun-dried tomatoes. I’ve never managed to acquire a taste for fresh tomatoes, but I absolutely love sun-dried ones.
Layer them over your favourite hummus for a delicious combination. For an extra touch, try adding a crumble of feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze to really elevate the flavours.
5. Tuna and Cucumber
Tuna and cucumber are a perfect match. To keep it from being too dry, I spread a thin layer of light cream cheese on the crispbread first.
For a healthier twist on the tuna salad, I like to mix the tuna with Greek yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some dill instead of mayonnaise. It’s creamy, fresh, and much lighter.
The number of crispbread toppings you can create is truly endless. I love snacks like this because I can mix and match different flavours all at once, which is perfect for me since I get bored easily.

Oh, thanks =) I need to get better at pinterest!
Can’t say I am a great fan of crisp breads love that they are love in calories but they remind me of cardboard I prefer the ones that are thicker. Best topping roasted humous, chicken, onion and rocket Lucy x
I like them thinner because it means I can eat more 😀

What a great idea for a post. I love all of these.
Also, I adore your dress from the previous post with the little white bunnies. You’ve made me discover an amazing new website.
I’m glad you like it! You should get something from them, it’s right up your street!
Humours and sun dried tomatoes is probably my favourite I don’t think I can stomach others but they are such great options and easy to make
hummus & sun dried tomato is my favourite combination, i think! STILL haven’t tried pâté.. i’ll really need to muster up some guts to! hehe
this look likes delicious!! ñam, ñam!!( It is a very typical spanish expression to say yummy) Kisses:)
Yum, this looks so good!! Never had these before, but I will have to pick them up next time I’m at the store!! Yummy yummy :)) xx
I hope you find them, they’re usually with the olives and sun dried tomatoes!
Out of all of the flavours which look great, tuna and cucumber is the only one I’d actually eat.. I’m such a fussy eater which makes it harder to be really healthy! I love crisp breads though 🙂
