Description
This 5-Ingredient Pesto Tomato Sourdough Toast is a delightful combination of crunchy, toasted sourdough bread topped with creamy, vibrant pesto and juicy, ripe tomatoes. Each bite offers a burst of fresh flavors, with the nutty undertones of the pesto perfectly complementing the sweetness of the tomatoes.
Ingredients
- Sourdough Bread: 4 slices, preferably thick-cut
- Pesto: 1/2 cup, store-bought or homemade
- Tomatoes: 2 medium, sliced
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons, for drizzling
- Salt and Pepper: to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the sourdough slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake the bread for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the bread from the oven and spread a generous layer of pesto on each slice.
- Top with sliced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the toast to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the tomatoes slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra pesto if desired.
Notes
- This toast can be made ahead by preparing the pesto and slicing the tomatoes in advance; store them separately in the refrigerator.
- Leftover toast can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- For a vegan option, ensure the pesto is dairy-free or make your own using nutritional yeast instead of cheese.
