What makes this new take on tomato toast different is the magic of chunky slices of ripe tomatoes that sit right on the cusp of sweet and savory, between fruit and vegetable. A pinch of salt brings out their juiciness, honey highlights their sweetness, and the nuttiness of whole-grain bread grounds the sandwich with a hearty foundation.

Every ingredient supports those fat slices of tomatoes. And it all comes together in just a minute.
