Tomato Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the bread on both sides under the broiler, on a stovetop grill or over coals, until it is perfectly browned, with a bit of give in the center, about 1 minute per side.
• Pressing down firmly, rub the top of each toast with the garlic. Press the tomato, cut side down, against the toast. Rub to moisten the toast and give it a juicy red color.
• Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Brush 6 slices crusty bread on both sides with olive oil; broil until golden. Rub with a garlic clove and the cut side of a tomato. Sprinkle with kosher salt and drizzle with more olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the cumin, bell pepper, onion, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize in spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices and use a potato masher to crush the whole tomatoes until no large chunks are remaining. Stir in the honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by about half and resembles a thick jam, with little moisture left, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl or food storage container and let cool to room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover the jam and refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Just before serving, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 6 minutes.
• For each serving, spread about 2 tablespoons of the tomato jam on top of a piece of toast. Top the toast with a fried egg and a few avocado slices. Drizzle with hot sauce if using. Refrigerate any leftover jam in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Toast the bread until golden brown. Remove from toaster and rub each slice with 1/2 a clove of garlic, rubbing cut-side down.
• Top each slice of toast evenly with the feta cheese, tomato, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Place bread on ungreased sheet.
• Spread each slice with a scant tbsp of pesto.
• Top with tomato and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake about 8 minutes or til hot and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice baguette diagonally into sixteen 1/2-inch-thick slices; brush both sides with a total of olive oil. Bake on a baking sheet until golden, about 8 minutes.
• Halve avocado lengthwise and remove pit; scoop flesh into a small bowl. Mash with lemon juice; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Spread on toasted bread; top with grape tomatoes.
