4. Toast the bread.

5. Once toasted, you can optionally spread some garlic to make it a little bit spicy.

6. Spread the tomato mix over the toasts and enjoy it.


A very typical Spanish breakfast. Consists on a toast, but instead of butter or jam, we use tomatoes. Try it only with Baguettes, or any bread that comes in the shape of a bar, with the crunchy outside. And by the way, adding a little bit of the mix to any sandwich makes the sandwich incredibly delicious.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank chelopo for this recipe.

I haven't tried this exact recipe but have had something similar in Portugal. In Crete they also do something as an apppetizer before dinner but they use a harder bread.
