Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free bread
- 3 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the tomato spread. Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces. If desired, you can remove the seeds for a smoother texture.
2. Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and stir them into the tomato mixture. Set it aside to cool slightly.
4. While the spread cools, toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden and crisp, using a toaster or toaster oven.
5. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the toasted bread slices.
6. Spread the tomato mixture generously over each slice of toast.
7. Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. Optionally, garnish with additional basil leaves for extra flavor and presentation.
