What does matcha cream taste like with sourdough?

Matcha cream has a smooth, earthy, slightly sweet flavor that balances beautifully with the tangy, chewy texture of sourdough bread. The richness of the cream softens the sour notes while the matcha adds a grassy depth and a hint of bitterness—resulting in a complex but comforting flavor. It's like a sophisticated take on green tea toast.

Can I use store-bought sourdough?

Yes, absolutely. While homemade sourdough often has a deeper flavor and texture, store-bought sourdough works great too—just look for loaves with minimal preservatives and a good crust-to-crumb ratio. Toasting it lightly enhances its texture, especially if you're adding creamy toppings like matcha whip.

How long does matcha cream last in the fridge?

Matcha cream lasts 2 to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best used fresh for the silkiest texture, but you can gently re-whip it or stir before spreading. For best flavor, store it away from strong-smelling foods and avoid freezing, as it can separate.

Is this recipe healthy for breakfast?

Yes—when made with whole grain sourdough and a light cream base (like Greek yogurt or coconut cream), this recipe offers a balanced breakfast option . Matcha is high in antioxidants and supports mental alertness, while sourdough offers gut-friendly fermentation and fewer blood sugar spikes compared to regular bread. Just go light on sweeteners if you're watching sugar intake.

Instructions

Whip the Matcha Cream: In a chilled bowl, add cold cream, sifted matcha powder, and powdered sugar or honey. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat until soft peaks form. Chill if not using immediately.
Toast the Bread (Optional): Lightly toast the sourdough slices for a crisp texture or use fresh slices for a chewier base.
Spread and Top: Generously spread the whipped matcha cream over each slice. Garnish with your favorite toppings like berries, chopped pistachios, or white chocolate shavings.
Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh. Pair with matcha latte or green tea for a complete brunch experience.

Notes

Use full-fat cream or coconut cream for the best texture. For a lighter option, try whipped Greek yogurt. Matcha cream can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Sift the matcha for a smooth, lump-free finish.
