Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread ½ inch or slightly thinner if desired
  • 2 large or 3 small garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil + a drizzle
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon mellow white or chickpea miso
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano not packed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme not packed
  • 1 cup fresh basil not packed
  • Splash of lemon juice about ½ teaspoon
  • Fresh pepper & sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a mortar in pestle*, add the garlic, olive, oil, nutritional yeast, and a just a pinch of salt and pepper and mash until you are left with a smooth paste. Spread the mash evenly over both sides of bread slices, coating every square inch of each side. Bring a skillet to medium heat and grill the bread on each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, checking often to make sure not to burn. Once removed from the skillet, spread a paper thin amount of the miso on only the top of each piece of toast.
  • For the topping, finely chop all of the fresh herbs and add them to a mixing bowl along with the tomatoes, splash of olive oil & lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and spoon onto toast. Serve immediately.
