Tomato Toast With Chives And Sesame Seeds Recipes

TOMATO TOAST WITH CHIVES AND SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Mix the mashed garlic, mayonnaise and juice of 1/2 lemon (remove zest first) in a small mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread a generous layer of the spread evenly on each slice of toasted bread. Lay the tomatoes on in a single layer, overlapping slightly and cutting in half if necessary. Sprinkle with the chopped chives, sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, black pepper and the Aleppo pepper. Sprinkle some of the fresh lemon zest on top and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil.

CLASSIC TOMATO TOAST WITH MAYONNAISE AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and 2 Tbsp. chives in a small bowl. Spread each toast with 1 heaping Tbsp. chive-mayonnaise. Divide tomato slices among toasts and sprinkle each with salt, pepper, and sugar, if using. Top with remaining 2 Tbsp. chives.

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.
