Rustic Toast with Crème Fraîche and Heirloom Tomatoes

July 28, 2021 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Summertime isn’t complete until you enjoyed a thick slice of toasty goodness topped with heirloom tomatoes. Fresh, satisfying and delish! One bite and you’ll be hooked.

Heirloom Tomatoes

I’m a HUGE savory breakfast fan. If you agree, make sure to check out my Breakfast Pizza, Jalapeño Popper Oatmeal, and these Oven Baked Eggs in Avocados!

Heirloom Tomatoes

SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST RECIPES ARE THE TASTIEST!

Here’s all you’ll need to make a super-delicious meal:

  • Butter
  • Fresh Garlic (optional)
  • Thick-Cut, Crusty Bread 
  • Crème Fraîche
  • Heirloom Tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil
  • Flaky Sea Salt
  • Balsamic Glaze

Trust me when I say, this will become one of your favorite breakfasts. They’re perfect for entertaining, too! 

Heirloom Tomatoes

TOASTING THE BREAD:

I personally like to buy a crusty, freshly-baked loaf at the grocery store and let it sit for a day on the counter. A sourdough round, ciabatta, or country French loaf are great choices as your base. You will want to cut the slices thick, that way the bread can hold up to the toppings. To toast, slather each side of the bread slices with butter (or mayonnaise… yes, mayonnaise is actually amazing here) and place them in a heated skillet to sizzle and toast. Flip once you have a golden brown color and repeat as necessary.

Heirloom Tomatoes

WHAT IS CRÈME FRAÎCHE?

In France, this is a naturally thickened cream that’s both savory and tart (I’d say it’s a mixture of texture between cream cheese and ricotta). It tastes great on toast, with fruit, and over smoked salmon.  

Heirloom Tomatoes

HOW TO PICK HEIRLOOM TOMATOES:

My golden rule when it comes to tomatoes: inspect the skin to ensure its firm and tight. The tomato should feel heavy and have no signs of bruises. You can certainly make this recipe with another variety of tomatoes, but if you have access to heirloom I highly recommend them! 

Heirloom Tomatoes

FRESH BASIL AND OTHER HERBS:

I’m a firm believer that fresh herbs are a total game changer. Heck, I’ve written oodles of recipes for That’s Tasty and I’m completely smitten with them! I prefer basil with this recipe… but oregano, chives and/or parsley would taste fantastic as well. 

OTHER WAYS TO USE FRESH HERBS:

Classic Fettuccini Alfredo with Peas and Pancetta

California Inspired Chickpea Avocado Salad

Once toasted, rub one side of the toasted bread with fresh garlic (optional) and set aside.
  2. SLICE THE TOMATO: Using the same serrated knife, slice the tomato to desired thickness and set aside.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

  • Thicker, toasted bread is a MUST in this recipe. Thin-sliced bread will become soggy rather quickly.
  • Always cut tomatoes with a serrated knife to avoid bruising them.
  • Would you like to make this into an appetizer for a crowd? Go ahead and use a thickly sliced baguette and cut the tomatoes according to size. Looking to make a heartier breakfast? Serve with bacon and eggs!

.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• 14 oz. Raw Pizza Dough
• 3 tbsp. Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 15 slices Salami
• 24 slices Pepperoni
• 9 Cuts Thinly Sliced Ham
• 8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 1 Egg, beaten
• ½ tsp. Garlic Powder
• 2 tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley
• ½ cup Marinara, warmed
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Shred cheese and separate into three equal-sized portions.
3. Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon melted butter and two cloves of minced garlic. Brush over the top of dough.
5. Sprinkle ⅓ cheese onto the dough, leaving a ½ inch ledge around the top and two sides. Layer with ham, ⅓ cheese, pepperoni, salami and remaining ⅓ cheese.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the three exposed edges of the dough.
Starting with the long edge that does not have the egg wash, gently roll up the dough into the shape of a log. Make sure the Stromboli has the seam-side facing down and tuck the edges under to seal.
6. Combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with the garlic powder and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Brush the exterior of the Stromboli, covering all three exposed sides.
7. Using a serrated knife, make shallow diagonal cuts along the top of the Stromboli, about every 2 inches.
8. Bake for 30 minutes and allow the Stromboli to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with warm marinara.

.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/italian-sausage-pasta-with-brown-butter-and-herbs/
.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 lb. Boxed Pasta Noodles
• 2 tbsp. Kosher Salt
• 16 oz. Mild Italian Ground Sausage (1 lb.)
• 8 tbsp. Unsalted Butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp. Garlic Purée
• ½ cup reserved Pasta Water
• 3 Tbsp. chopped Italian Parsley Leaves
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot water to a rolling boil and sprinkle-in the salt. Add pasta noodles and cook according to the package directions for al dente.
2. While the noodles are cooking, brown the sausage and drain any access oil. Set aside until you’re ready for assembly.
3. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon until golden brown bits form and you smell a nutty aroma. This usually takes about 3 minutes. Be very careful not to burn the butter, otherwise you’ll need to start over. Once browned, remove from heat immediately.
4. Once cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining. Add noodles to the brown butter and toss to combine. Sprinkle in about ¾ cup of cheese and a big squeeze of Garlic Purée. Using tongs, stir the noodles with 2 – 3 tablespoons of starchy pasta water. Continue to stir, until a glossy sauce has formed. Feel free to add more or less pasta water to reach your desired sauce consistency. Typically, you will not use the entire ½ cup.
5. When sauce has formed, go ahead and mix-in the cooked sausage. Serve with remaining cheese, fresh herbs, and freshly cracked black pepper.
