Mixed Plate - Bread With Tomato Spread, Salami, Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Tomato Herb Bread

Begin with a slice of bread, preferably a crusty variety such as ciabatta or sourdough. For the tomato-based spread, blend ripe tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, and a selection of herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme until smooth. Spread generously on the bread slice.

Cured Meat Slices

Select a high-quality cured meat, such as salami, prosciutto, or coppa. Cut into thin slices and arrange neatly on the plate.

Scalloped or Au Gratin Potatoes

Thinly slice potatoes and layer them in a baking dish. Mix a sauce of cream or milk with melted butter, garlic, and your choice of cheese. Pour over the potatoes, ensuring each layer is coated. Bake until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crispy.
