Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread (low sodium or no salt added)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 3 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- 1 pinch Crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on size, and mince the garlic clove finely.
Add olive oil to the heated pan, then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another minute to develop the flavors. Remove the skillet from heat.
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread using a toaster or oven until golden and crispy.
Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the tomato sauce just before serving.
Season the sauce with a pinch of ground black pepper and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Spoon the savory tomato sauce evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium, savory toast!
