Recipe for Toasts with Tomatoes, Olives, and Cheese

Slice the tomatoes and place them on a plate in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and let them drain while preparing the rest.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the rind from the cheese. Cut 8 thin slices and then chop the rest into small cubes. Pit the olives.

Brush the slices of bread with tapenade. Arrange 2 slices of cheese on each slice of bread, interspersing with drained tomato slices. Add the diced cheese, olives, thyme, and pepper.

Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the toasts are nicely golden.

To finish Tip: Replace the black tapenade with green tapenade, sun-dried tomato confit, or pesto.
