Ingredients

1 large tomato
4 to 6 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta etc)
Olive oil
Gray salt
Shabazi
Za'atar

Directions

Preheat your oven broiler on high and position a rack close to the burner.
Grate the tomato into a bowl using a box grater (no need to remove the skin).
Add a healthy splash of olive oil, a big pinch of salt and Shabazi to taste (I usually use about 2 teaspoons).
Drizzle some olive oil on both sides of each bread slice and season them with salt and za'atar.
Place the seasoned bread on a baking tray lined with foil and toast them on both sides.
Spread the tomato mix on the toasted bread and serve. Enjoy!
