TOMATO TOAST
Recipe by The Leek and the Carrot
Serves 2-4 (depending if you’re a one or two piece of toast kind of person)
Takes 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1-2 very ripe, very large tomatoes or 3 medium-sized ones, cored
4 pieces sourdough bread (the good stuff is essential here)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (white or black, or better yet, a combination)
1 tablespoon dried chives
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
Cut your tomato into thick (at least a 1/2-inch) slices.
Toast your sourdough and then swipe each piece with a generous layer of mayo. Add tomato slice(s), ideally enough to cover most of the surface area of the toast. If you don’t have enough, slice another tomato.
In a small bowl, mix together minced onion, sesame seeds, chives, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly over tomatoes. Finish with salt, again, evenly divided between the pieces of toast.
