Tomato Grill Toast Food

RUSTIC TOMATO TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the bread on both sides under the broiler, on a stovetop grill or over coals, until it is perfectly browned, with a bit of give in the center, about 1 minute per side.
• Pressing down firmly, rub the top of each toast with the garlic. Press the tomato, cut side down, against the toast. Rub to moisten the toast and give it a juicy red color.
• Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately.

GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
• Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
• Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

CHEESY FRENCH TOAST WITH HAM & GRILLED VINE TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese and chives. Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, then place them in the pan. Cook for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and crisp, then keep warm in a low oven if you need to.
• Place the vine tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until they start to soften and blister. On a large platter, pile up the cheesy French bread, grilled tomatoes, sliced ham and a pile of watercress, and let everyone dig in.

GRILLED PESTO TOMATOES ON TOAST

Steps:

• Halve the tomatoes. Thin the pesto sauce with a little water and brush half on the tomatoes. Cook under a hot grill for 5-7 mins until softened. At the same time, toast the slice of bread, then spread with the remaining pesto mix. Top with the hot tomatoes, squashing them slightly.

ENGLISH BREAKFAST TOMATOES
