Heirloom Tomato Toast

Heirloom Tomato Toast

Finally: tomato season is in full swing!  The farmer’s market is bursting with the most beautiful array of heirloom tomatoes and I want to use them on everything. Besides simple summer salads & no-cook sauces, toast is my favorite way to eat tomatoes this time of year.  They don’t need much – just some garlic, olive oil & a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. For tomorrow’s breakfast (and even lunch and dinner when it’s too hot to turn on the oven) this toast is your new go-to.

    You actually HAD me at hemp seeds. I am obsessed with them these days and put them in everything- salads, smoothies, pastas… I find they have an almost pine nut flavor to them.

  5. Molly says:

    Oh my gosh, this looks so good! I’ve never had hemp seeds not blended into a smoothie, but the pine nut comparison makes me want to try them!!
