- 2 slices whole grain sourdough bread toasted to desired darkness
- 4 TBSP sunflower butter
- 2 TBSP prune puree recipe follows
- 1 TBSP sunflower seeds

Instructions
For the Brûléed Citrus Wheels:
- Place the citrus wheels on a heat-proof surface (like a baking sheet) and add a small amount of sugar to the top of each piece.
- Using a circular motion, pass the flame of a culinary torch repeatedly over the sugar until it boils and turns lightly charred and amber.
- *Alternately, use a broiler set on high to caramelize the sugar.
To build the toast:
- Spread 2 tablespoons of sunflower butter on each warm piece of whole-grain toasted sourdough bread. Top with 1 tablespoon prune puree, spread evenly across the sunflower butter. Sprinkle half of the diced prunes and sunflower seeds over top. Arrange half the broiled citrus on top and serve immediately.
