Ingredients
Scale
For the Roasted Tomatoes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
For the Goat Cheese Spread
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1–2 green chilies, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, as needed
For the Toast
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Chopped cilantro and black pepper powder, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the tomatoes.
- Prepare tomatoes: Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place them evenly in a baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add salt to taste, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder. Toss gently to coat all tomatoes.
- Roast tomatoes: Bake the prepared tomatoes in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they become wilted and slightly caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Make goat cheese spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, chopped green chilies (if using), chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly until well blended and creamy.
- Toast the bread: Apply butter evenly on both sides of each slice of sourdough bread. Toast them in a pan or on a griddle over medium heat until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
- Assemble toast: Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. Top with the warm roasted tomatoes, then garnish with additional chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of black pepper powder for extra flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful crunch and the vibrant flavors of the roasted tomato toast.
Notes
- You can omit the green chilies for a milder flavor or add more for extra heat.
- Use fresh cherry tomatoes for best results and a sweet taste.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese spread and use vegan butter.
- Serve with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
