Something on toast is what one often turns to for instant comfort and sustenance. Take these delicious bruschetta recipes, for example.

Method

For bruschetta

Cut thick slices from a substantial loaf and toast on a barbecue. Rub lightly with a cut clove of garlic.

For topping

Heat butter and olive oil in a small frying pan; add garlic. Fry for half a minute, then add spinach, stir, and cover with a lid for three minutes. Uncover, raise heat to evaporate any excess liquid, season to taste and stir in tomatoes. Pile onto a grilled slice of bread and grill for a minute.
