Serves 4

Ingredients:

• ½ cup olive oil, divided
• 1 lb. ripe tomatoes (a variety that includes sun golds is our favorite), cut into chunks
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups cooked white beans
• 1 loaf Essential Baking Company Take & Bake Sourdough, cooked, cooled, and cut into ¾”-thick slices
• 4 ounces Point Reyes Toma Truffle
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
• Salt
• Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

Heat broiler.

In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt.  Cook, stirring occasionally until tomatoes begin to char in spots, 3-4 minutes.

Add garlic and white beans, cooking a few more minutes, until garlic is fragrant.  Remove from heat.  Season with salt, to taste.

Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of 8 slices of bread with remaining olive oil.

Place on a sheet pan under the broiler.  Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Top each piece of toasted bread with equal amounts of the warm tomato mixture.

Using a Microplane or fine grater, grate Toma Truffle on top.

Follow with fresh thyme and red pepper flakes.

Serve immediately.
