Summer on Toast
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
2-3
ingredients
- 3 basil leaves, stacked, rolled and cut crosswise into thin strips (optional)
- 1 large tomatoes, preferably heirloom (3/4 pound)
- 2 -3 medium plums, pitted and cut in half, then cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices (very ripe and sweet)
- 1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, good quality
- 2 -3 thin slices hearty country bread or 2 -3 other firm bread
directions
- If using the basil, place it in the bottom of a medium glass bowl.
- Use the tomato and plum slices (mixing them is okay) to build layers on top of the basil (if using) in the bowl; sprinkle with a little of the balsamic vinegar between the layers as you work. Use most of the vinegar on top. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature; during that time, the vinegar will mingle with the fruit juices to form a luscious sauce.
- Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread.
- Divide the fruit mixture among individual serving bowls. Spoon a bit of the mixture onto the bread and eat a bite at a time; repeat as needed, so the bread does not get soggy.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
