Balsamic tomatoes and ricotta on rye

Gone are the days of tomato on toast being the go-to when ‘there’s nothing else in the fridge.’

This tomato on toast is one you’ll rush to make again, and again, and again, it’s just that good.

What you’ll need:

2 slices of thick rye bread

8 cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp ricotta cheese

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp olive oil

1 pinch sea salt

How to make the balsamic tomatoes:

  1. Mix the balsamic vinegar and olive oil together.
  2. Pour the balsamic and oil over the tomatoes in an oven dish with a pinch of sea salt, and cook for about 5 minutes.

Assemble your toast with ricotta cheese, adding the tomatoes on top.

Enjoy!

Baked eggs

This is one of those meals that looks like you put a lot of effort into, when really it’s the most easy and no-fuss thing to make.

This recipe would also be delish with bacon, extra spinach or crusty bread for a bigger meal!

What you’ll need:

1 brown onion, diced

2 large cloves garlic, diced

Dash of oil

250g canned tomatoes (I used Watties Italian style)

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp white sugar

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp dried rosemary, oregano and basil

2 large portabello mushrooms

4 free range eggs

Handful of spinach

Salt and pepper

Handful of feta

Fresh basil, to serve.

How to make it:

1. In the oiled pan, add onions, garlic, herbs and spices

2. Once the onions are translucent, add can of tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and salt

3. Reduce the heat and let the sauce thicken (takes about 10 minutes)

4. While the sauce is reducing, chop your mushrooms into long strips

5. Add your thickened tomato sauce to the oven dishes, placing mushrooms on top, crack the eggs on the top and then sprinkle feta.

6. Bake for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
