Ingredient Preparation

Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients: 2 slices of whole grain bread, a small tomato, approximately 30-50 grams of your preferred cheese (mozzarella or cheddar works great), butter or oil, and your choice of herbs such as oregano or basil.

Toast the Bread

Preheat your oven's broiler or use a toaster to lightly toast the bread slices until they are just golden brown. Alternatively, you can grill the bread in a pan with a little butter or oil for added flavor.

Prepare the Tomato and Cheese

While the bread is toasting, slice the tomato into thin slices. Grate or thinly slice the cheese, as per your preference.

Assemble and Bake

Place the toasted bread on a baking sheet. Layer each slice with tomato slices and sprinkle evenly with the grated or sliced cheese. Add a pinch of your chosen herbs and spices on top. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, paying close attention to avoid burning.

Serve

Once the cheese has melted to perfection, remove your cheese and tomato on toast from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
