Follow The Directions

01

Step

Toast the bread slices to a golden brown perfection using a toaster or a skillet. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)

02

Step

While the toast is still warm, gently rub each slice with the cut side of a garlic clove, infusing the bread with its aromatic essence. (Approximately 30 seconds)

03

Step

Arrange the feta cheese slices evenly over the garlic-infused toast, creating a creamy base for the tomato. (Approximately 1 minute)

04

Step

Carefully layer the heirloom tomato slices over the feta, ensuring each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. (Approximately 1 minute)

05

Step

Sprinkle the dried oregano, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the tomatoes, enhancing their natural sweetness and adding a touch of complexity. (Approximately 30 seconds)

06

Step

Drizzle generously with extra-virgin olive oil, adding a luscious richness and tying all the elements together. (Approximately 15 seconds)

07

Step

Serve immediately and savor the explosion of flavors in every bite.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the bread lightly before rubbing it with garlic.
Experiment with different varieties of heirloom tomatoes to discover your favorite flavor profiles.
If you prefer a creamier texture, crumble the feta cheese instead of slicing it.
A sprinkle of fresh basil or mint leaves can add a refreshing touch to the finished toast.
