Pan con Tomate (Spanish Tomato Toast) Ingredients :
- 4 slices of whole wheat bread
- 2 salad tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove of garlic, peeled and halved
- Optional: Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley
How to Make Pan con Tomate (Spanish Tomato Toast)
Toast the bread using a toaster, skillet, or oven.
Halve the tomatoes and grate them using a box grater, ensuring to discard the stem and skins. Alternatively, you can rub the tomatoes directly onto the bread (removing the stems and skins) or use an immersion blender for the tomato mixture (excluding only the stems).
Transfer the grated tomato into a small bowl, add salt, and mix thoroughly.
Rub the raw garlic over the toasted bread slices, using one clove to make 4 to 8 toasts. Remove and discard the garlic afterwards.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of bread, optionally drizzling with extra virgin olive oil (about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per toast) and adding chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately. For best results, enjoy fresh; store any remaining tomato mixture in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Recipe Notes:
Feel free to use any bread you have available. If you’re interested in homemade options, check out my easy rye and spelt bread recipes, as well as gluten-free alternatives.
The clove of garlic can enhance various dishes that require garlic. I enjoy sautéing it with water or oil alongside other vegetables, adding spices, herbs, or sauces for extra flavor.
While any type of tomatoes will work, the quantity may vary based on preference.
Nutrition information provided is an approximate estimate based on using 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil for the 4 toasts. It does not include the garlic clove (since it is discarded) or parsley (as it is optional).
