Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread (vegan)
- 1 medium Tomato (preferably heirloom or Roma)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade, ensure vegan)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small Garlic clove (optional)
Instructions
Start by toasting the bread slices until golden brown and crisp. Use a toaster or a dry skillet over medium heat for extra flavor.
While the bread is toasting, slice the tomato into thin, even slices and set them aside.
If desired, rub the warm toasted bread lightly with the cut side of a peeled garlic clove for added flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over each slice of toast, spreading it with the back of a spoon if needed.
Arrange the tomato slices on top of the toast, slightly overlapping them for even coverage.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance their flavor.
Place 2 fresh basil leaves on each piece of toast for a fragrant and fresh touch.
Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the top of each piece of toast in a zigzag pattern or thin lines.
Serve immediately while the toast is crisp. Enjoy this vibrant and satisfying vegan tomato toast as a standalone snack or paired with a light salad.
