Tomato Toast for One: One Minute Before Adding Chopped Tomato
Cooking for yourself? This toast made with just two ingredients, bread and tomato, depends on how you handle moisture. Toast the bread while the chopped tomato drains briefly in a sieve. Add the topping just before eating, once the bread is lightly browned.
Before cooking for one
Start with an ingredient you already have, then check the recipe's full ingredient list, quantities and equipment before choosing your meal. For a solo meal, use its one-serving quantities.
Cut the tomato into 1 cm pieces, smaller than salad-sized pieces, so it is easy to spread over the bread. Remove the stem and chop it, then leave it in a sieve for 1 minute to drain the moisture that comes out naturally. This is not a step where you squeeze the tomato hard by hand and crush its shape. Place a bowl under the sieve to keep the counter clean.
Ingredients for 1 serving
- Tomato: 1/2 medium-sized tomato
- White bread: 1 slice
The amounts are based on the ingredient chart for 1 serving in the app. A household eating spoon and a pinch are informal measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity in parentheses as well.
Instructions
- Step 1. Wash the tomato, remove the stem, and cut it into 1 cm pieces. Leave it in a sieve for 1 minute to drain the liquid.
- Step 2. Put the bread in a dry pan and toast one side over low heat for 1 minute. Flip it, restart the timer, and toast the other side for 1 minute. Remove it when lightly browned.
- Step 3. Top the toasted bread with tomato and serve right away.
Watch the bread's color, not just the toasting time
Check both sides over low heat in a dry pan. Start timing again when you begin to toast the second side. The color can vary depending on the thickness of the pan and the bread's moisture, so rather than leaving it in just because 1 minute have passed, check for a lightly browned surface and remove it.
Prepare the components separately if making ahead
It is better to prepare the tomato and bread separately than to leave the tomato on the toasted bread for a long time. Add the tomato when you are ready to eat, and serve right away. This basic recipe contains no cheese or oil. If you add other toppings, record them separately from the amounts of the two basic ingredients so it is easy to make again next time.
