Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 medium Ripe tomato
- 2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Garlic clove
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe tomato in half and grate the flesh side of the tomato using a box grater. Stop grating once only the skin remains; discard the skin.
Transfer the grated tomato pulp into a small bowl and add the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Peel the garlic clove and lightly rub one side of each toasted bread slice with the cut end of the garlic for a subtle garlic infusion.
Spoon the tomato mixture evenly across the two slices of toasted bread, spreading it out to cover the surface.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the tomato spread.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome Mediterranean-inspired toast!
