Level of Difficulty Easylight meals

Introduce an Italian flavour to your quick snack with the lightest smearing of pungent pesto, a jar of which you may well have lurking in your fridge or cupboard.


Ingredients
2 large tomato(s), ripe 4 spray low-fat cooking spray 2 slice Ciabatta, medium thickness 1 tablespoon pesto sauce 1 pinch salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper, black
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes in half across the middle and season. Heat a non-stick frying-pan and when hot, spray with cooking spray. Add the tomato halves, cut-side down. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until nicely browned but still whole. There is no need to turn them. Remove the pan from the heat but leave the tomatoes in the pan.
Toast both pieces of the ciabatta loaf and then spread each lightly with the pesto.
Slide the tomatoes on top of the toast, slightly slashing the tomatoes with a sharp knife. This will allow the juices to flow and flavour and soften the toast.
Season to taste and serve.
