This is
probably the meal I make the most for a quick and delicious lunch and even
breakfast sometimes. I never get bored of it as the flavor combination is so
good- juicy tomatoes, creamy and salty
feta, and crunchy and garlicky toast. Who could resist?
Creamy, delicious feta crumbled all over the juicy tomatoes. |
It is
really light and works well with any good bread, though my particular favorites
are sourdough or granary. It takes just minutes to prepare. I always keep the
ingredients for this in the fridge and always feel satisfied after eating it.
Ingredients (per person)
2 slices of
bread (sliced quite generously)
Olive oil
(I use a spray)
A clove of
garlic
A few
leaves of basil (use scissors to cut into slithers)
A handful
of cherry plum tomatoes (I use a mix of yellow and red ones) sliced or quartered
A couple of sun-dried tomatoes chopped into slithers
Feta cheese
to crumble (as much as you like)
1 tsp sun-dried tomato olive oil (from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes) to drizzle over
the top
Cracked
black pepper
Juicy tomatoes, basil, feta & sun-dried tomatoes |
Method
Toast the slices
of bread. Once toasted, rub a clove of garlic over the crunchy toast so the
garlic flavor transfers to the bread. Drizzle or spray some olive oil onto the
top of the toasted garlic toast (you could use butter but I think olive oil
works better with these Mediterranean ingredients).
Scatter the
slices or quarters of tomatoes over the pieces of bread, add the sun-dried
tomato slithers and basil and top with the crumbled feta cheese.
Season with
black pepper and then drizzle a little of the sun-dried tomato olive oil from
the jar over the top.
So simple
to put together but believe me packed full of flavor. Eat on its own at
breakfast or with some mixed salad leaves on the side for lunch.
Who can resist this flavor combination?! |
Hope you
enjoy this as much as I do.
