5-min toast to save you precious WFH time and tomatoes from being wasted

I have a confession to make: I have been making Rezel Kealoha’s tomato tartine non-stop since it came out on Comfort Kitchen. No, actually, the first time I made it was when we were still editing her video. It has been my go-to breakfast when I don’t feel like making fried rice from leftovers or when I simply can’t stand my boyfriend’s French toast anymore.After all, this is perhaps the easiest recipe we’ve done so far—next to the perfect fried egg maybe.

[READ: This food photographer perfected the fried egg] It takes five minutes—yes, it’s possible if you prep the tomato and other things while you wait for your bread to toast nicely. Okay, 10 minutes at best if like Rezel aka our favorite San Francisco-based Filipina food stylist and recipe developer, you like to take your time. In her case, it’s dancing to Mariah while she waits.

As we speak, I have just saved a week-old slice of sourdough bread I’ve frozen from being thrown away. How else but by making this tomato tartine? The toast also lends itself to many possibilities, not to mention it’s wildly customizable, meaning you can adjust anything to your liking: the crispness of the bread, the amount of tomatoes—or if you’re going to use tomatoes in the first place—or whether or not you’d like to overpower your toast with excess garlic. One time, I discovered I was out of tomatoes just when I had finished grating garlic on the toast. I ended up eating it with bangus in oil. Not bad.

And no, don’t give me that “mahal ang kamatis” or “I can’t find tomatoes in the supermarket” excuse because we got you. We know where you can get them for as low as P10/kilo, direct from farmers! That’s like hitting two birds with one stone. Of course, the other bird is helping struggling farmers, but you already know that.
