Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices grain-free bread (e.g., almond flour or cassava flour bread)
- 1 large ripe tomatoes
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Toast the slices of grain-free bread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Slice the ripe tomato into thin, even rounds.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey or maple syrup (if using). Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened into a glaze. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Drizzle the toasted bread slices with extra virgin olive oil.
Layer the tomato slices on top of the bread, overlapping them slightly.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish each toast with fresh basil leaves, arranging them decoratively on top.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the toast for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
