You’ve seen avocado toast, you’ve seen cinnamon swirl toast—but have you ever seen LEGO toast? That’s exactly what food vlogger Catherine Hellings dropped on us, and “dropping” feels right, since she uses an actual Lego brick to stamp cute patterns onto a slice of bread before toasting it. The result? A light brown, butter-slathered canvas that looks way too cute to eat—but people are definitely eating it. .
First, Catherine presses the Lego brick onto the raw bread, imprinting that iconic block pattern. She toasts it lightly, spreads on a generous slab of butter, then toasts it again—just enough so the butter melts into the grooves, creating a buttery grid of heaven. Her Instagram caption nails it: “Hot buttered Lego toast! … perfect for Lego-loving kids (& grown‑ups too!).” And yeah, anyone who’s ever built a brick castle is gonna crack a smile.
Of course, the internet had lots to say about this neat little experiment
Some comments were pure love: “So fun! If you toasted another slice, I wonder if they’d lock together.” Another praised the simplicity: “How fun and cute.” Clearly, the adorable factor scored major bonus points.
But, in classic internet style, there were plenty of haters too. One unimpressed viewer sneered, “Seriously, if I’m making toast instead of something else, it means I don’t have time for this nonsense.” Ouch. Another put it more bluntly: “What exactly is the point?” And if that wasn’t harsh enough, this gem of practicality surfaced: “That took too long. Place some blocks on a small board the size of bread and do it all at once.” Harsh—but kind of relatable for any parent who’s ever made food art only to have a toddler declare it “yucky.”
And those are the best kind of comments—the “relatable real-talk” ones the internet lives for. For every “aw, so cute,” there’s a “really? Toast with Legos?” mix of confusion and mild contempt, and those reactions are gold.

This isn’t some haute cuisine. This is a playful idea—simple, quirky, compelling. And it worked. Over 2.1 million views later, it’s clear people are into small kitchen surprises that make them smile. Even the harshest critiques had to click, watch, and comment. That’s the kind of viral content we all talk about around the breakfast table…or when we should be eating it.
If anything, this video reminds us that food creativity doesn’t always need a Michelin star or mystical ingredients. Sometimes it needs just a slab of butter, a warm kitchen, and a Lego brick you didn’t wash yet. And maybe a little nostalgia. It’s about tapping into childlike wonder, making something surprisingly delightful out of the everyday—and maybe inspiring you to make your own toaster art.
In a world where we’re all chasing the next viral food trend, this reminds us: creativity doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to make us say, “Aww… and also wait, what?” That’s the spice of life—snack edition.
