This is one of those magical “non-recipes, recipes.” Goat cheese tomato toast sounds so simple, but when you use fresh summer tomatoes and good bread, this is something you’ll end up dreaming about. I used heirloom tomatoes, which I think have a deeper, more complex flavor, but fresh on-the vine tomatoes would work great as well. The sweetness of the tomatoes, creaminess of the goat cheese, crunchy-ness of the toast, all topped with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper make the perfect combination.
I eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in the summer. You could also fry an egg to put on top to make it more of a “meal.” Watch out avocado toast… Goat cheese tomato toast is here to stay!
Goat Cheese Tomato Toast
4 slices of good bread, I like sourdough
2 tomatoes, like heirloom or on-the-vine
4 ounces goat cheese
Olive oil, approximately 1 teaspoon per slice of toast
Sea Salt
Fresh ground pepper
4 basil leaves
Toast bread. When bread is toasting, slice tomatoes into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. When bread is toasted, spread each piece with one ounce of goat cheese. Place tomato slices on top of goat cheese. Drizzle each piece of toast with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Tear a basil leaf over each piece of toast. Enjoy!
