Bruschetta in 10 minutes - With tomato, garlic, oregano and olive oil
Ingredients
Ingredients for vegan bruschetta
- 2 slices wholewheat bread
- 10 cherry tomatoes or 1 tomato
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
Vegan bruschetta
- Heat a pan well over medium to high temperature, and bake the bread on both sides, after greasing it with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Once the bread is toasted, rub it all around with the garlic (after first cutting it in half to get more aroma).
Serving
- Serve, placing the bread on a plate and add the chopped cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano on top.
- Without topping, they are perfectly served with soup. Such as pumpkin soup, mushroom soup, tomato soup, bean soup or with lentils. Served next to or into the soup.
Alternatively, change the topping and create variations with: - Vegan Greek feta cheese, cherry tomatoes and olive oil.
- Cherry tomatoes, avocado, lemon and fresh cilantro.
- Vegan scrambled tofu (Greek kayanas).
Notes
- To easily grease the bread with the olive oil, spread the olive oil in the pan and then put the bread in, pressing it lightlyl on both sides.
- If you use tomato, remove the seeds because the bread will absorb this extra moisture and will lose its pleasant and crunchy texture.
- You can also add various ingredients of your choice. Some ideas are: avocado, vegan Greek feta cheese, vegan scrambled tofu (Greek kayanas), olives, green pepper, capers, thyme, savory, ground pepper, balsamic vinegar and unprocessed sugar.
- You can create variations by replacing oregano with basil, mint, parsley, dill or fresh cilantro.
- For extra flavor, you can grease the toasted bread with olive oil and sprinkle it with oregano before adding the rest of the ingredients.
