Tomato Pie Toast

Servings 4 to 6 people

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, sliced 1/4-inch thick on the bias
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound tomatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp thinly sliced basil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place 1 baguette, sliced on a baking sheet. You can line it with parchment paper if you hate cleaning up. I never do because the bread gets crispier without one!
  • Smear 1/3 to 1/2 cup mayo all over the bread slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Cut 1 pound tomatoes to fit the bread slices, and lay them over the cheese.
  • Bake for 7 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes are roasted and tender and the cheese is ooey gooey.
  • Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons thinly sliced basil.
