Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (sliced, whole grain or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 piece Tomato (ripe, medium-sized)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoons Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- 3 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by toasting the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or oven for this step.
2. While the bread is toasting, wash the tomato thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even flavor distribution on the sandwich.
3. Once the bread is toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on each slice. Use the back of a spoon or a butter knife to create a smooth layer.
4. Arrange the tomato slices neatly on top of the peanut butter spread. You can overlap them slightly if needed.
5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the tomatoes to enhance their flavor.
6. If desired, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the sandwiches for an extra hint of richness.
7. Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and freshness.
8. Serve immediately as an open-faced sandwich and enjoy!
