Tomatoes on toast

Possibly the easiest breakfast ever but often the simplest foods are the most tasty. Cooked tomatoes provide so much lycopene which helps to protect the body. Add in some wholemeal/ rye/ pumpernickel/ sourdough toast and the low GI carbs will keep you full until lunchtime.

Ingredients:

  • Large handful of baby tomatoes chopped in half or a couple of large tomatoes sliced
  • 2 slices of good quality, non processed bread (toasted)
  • Tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
  2. Slice the tomatoes and mix with balsamic vinegar so they are evenly coated
  3. Pop into the oven for around 20 minutes (if you’re in a rush, pop in microwave for a minute or so and then just pop in oven for 5 mins)
  4. Toast the bread whilst tomatoes are cooking
  5. Pour the tomatoes and juice over the toast
  6. Enjoy!
