Bake the slices of bread in a 220°C oven for a few minutes until the bread starts to crumble. Soften the tomatoes by gently pressing them against a cutting board.

When the bread comes out of the oven, cut the tomato in half and rub the juices into the surface of the bread. Pour a generous amount of olive oil over the bread and season with a pinch of salt.

Tostadas with bacon and egg

Bake the slices in a 220°C oven for a few minutes. They do not need to become as crispy as the previous one. Drizzle olive oil over the bread after the oven. Fry the tomato slices, bacon and eggs (runny yolks) on a griddle. Pile the bread so that the softened tomatoes come first, then the bacon (you can slice it a little with a knife) and the egg on top. Season with salt.

Tostadas with goat’s cheese and jam

Slice the goat’s cheese into thin rings. Pour the olive oil on the bread, put the goat’s cheese on the baking tray and put in the oven for 220 minutes until the goat’s cheese starts to melt. Remove the bread from the oven, spread the jam on the bread and enjoy.
