Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Fried Sage

These heirloom tomato bruschetta are absolutely fabulous. Whether you serve them to guests at a cocktail party or eat them for breakfast on a Sunday morning, they are mouth-wateringly delicious. The fresh heirloom tomatoes not only look beautiful but are also juicy and sweet. They pair perfectly with the crunchy toasted baguette, the slightly spicy wholegrain mustard and the crispy fried sage.

This recipe was inspired by our trip to the Macedon Ranges in Victoria. We visited our friend’s place and were lucky enough to pick up a whole bunch of tomatoes alongside other fresh produce. If you’d like to see our haul, check out my Instagram post where I shared a few photos of the day.

All in all, you only need 8 ingredients and 10 minutes of your time. You can fry the sage in the fry pan with extra virgin olive oil and vegan butter while the sliced baguette is toasting in the oven. Then you simply spread a little mustard onto the baguette and place 1-2 slices of tomato on top. Last but not least, the bruschetta is garnished with a fried sage leaf, a sprinkle of salt and some freshly cracked pepper.

Bruschetta

• 1 baguette
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 500 g heirloom tomatoes
• 3 tsp wholegrain mustard
• salt flakes
• pepper

Fried Sage

• 12 fresh sage leaves
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Cut the baguette into 12 slices and drizzle olive oil on each of the slices.

• Add the tomato slices on top and season them with salt flakes and pepper.
• To serve, add a fried sage leaf on each bruschetta. Enjoy!
