Ingredients
For the Tomato Toast
- 1 medium beefsteak tomato, halved crosswise
- 1 whole-wheat bagel, split and toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped marinated mixed pitted olives
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Grate and strain the tomato: Place a box grater over a medium bowl and rub the cut sides of the tomato over the large holes until the flesh is grated, discarding the skins. Then, pour the grated tomato into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and let drain thoroughly. Discard or reserve the drained liquid for another use.
- Assemble the toast: Spoon the strained tomato evenly over the cut sides of the toasted bagel halves. Sprinkle the surface with kosher salt and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the top, then scatter the chopped marinated olives. Finish by sprinkling freshly ground black pepper and dried oregano over the assembled toasts. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
Notes
- Using a ripe beefsteak tomato is key to achieving juicy, flavorful toast.
- Toasting the bagel adds a nice crunch and contrasts the soft tomato.
- If desired, reserve the strained tomato liquid for use in dressings or cocktails.
- Feel free to substitute with other marinated olives depending on availability and preference.
- This dish is best served immediately to maintain texture and freshness.
