Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole-wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Chop the tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the chopped tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and add them to the tomato mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture and season with salt and black pepper.
Stir the ingredients together until well combined and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In the meantime, preheat a pan over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of whole-wheat bread.
Place the bread slices butter-side down in the preheated pan. Toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Once the bread is toasted, remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
Generously spoon the tomato mixture over each slice of toasted bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful toast with tomato spread!
