Equipment

  • Skillet or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Toaster or oven
  • Spoon or spatula

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes halved or diced (about 450 g)
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided (60 ml)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 3 slices sourdough bread
  • Vegan cream cheese (or regular), to spread
  • chili flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Make the Tomato Mixture:
    In a bowl, mix the diced cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, half of the olive oil (2 tbsp / 30 ml), salt, and pepper. Let it sit to release the juices.
  • 2. Prepare the Bread:
    Slice the sourdough at a 45° angle into slices about ⅔ inch thick (1.5–2 cm). Brush both sides with the remaining olive oil (2 tbsp / 30 ml). Toast in a pan or broil in the oven for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  • 3. Assemble:
    Spread cream cheese on each slice. Top with the tomato-basil mixture and spoon over some of the juice.
  • 4. Finish & Serve:
    Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired. Serve and enjoy immediately!
