Spanish-Style Tomato Toast with Garlic and Olive Oil

This classic Spanish-style tomato toast, often known as pan con tomate, is a wonderfully simple dish that celebrates the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean. It belongs to the heart-healthy category, featuring antioxidant-rich tomatoes and a generous glisten of extra-virgin olive oil. By grating the tomatoes into a fresh pulp, you achieve a juicy texture that contrasts perfectly with the crunchy, garlic-rubbed bread, while chopped anchovies add a sophisticated depth of saltiness.

Perfect as a light brunch or a quick savoury snack, this homemade recipe turns a few humble store-cupboard staples into a nourishing meal. For the best results, use the ripest tomatoes you can find and a high-quality crusty loaf. Serve these toasts warm on their own, or as part of a larger tapas spread for a healthy, flavourful feast.
