Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 4 sourdough bread slices
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the tomatoes and slicing them into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Step 2
Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Step 3
While the bread is toasting, peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Once the bread is toasted, rub the cut side of the garlic over the surface of each slice to infuse it with flavor.
Step 4
Drizzle each toast slice with about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to add richness.
Step 5
Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over each slice of toast. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper over the tomatoes to enhance their flavor.
Step 6
Garnish each toast with a couple of fresh basil leaves. For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Step 7
Serve the tomato toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crunchy, and enjoy this simple yet flavorful treat!
