Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tomatoes On Toast

Alright, this Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tomatoes On Toast is so much more than it sounds. I know “tomatoes on toast” might not stop you in your tracks—but trust me, once you try it, you’ll see why I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I made it. Warm toasted baguette, juicy tomatoes filled with creamy goat’s cheese, smoky crushed almonds on top… it’s simple, it’s rustic, and it’s ridiculously good. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

You only need five ingredients, and they’re all about maxing out flavor:

• 4 really ripe round tomatoes (leave them out on the counter to warm up—makes a big difference)
• 20g smoked almonds
• 4 sprigs curly parsley
• 70g soft goat’s cheese
• 1 small rustic baguette (about 200g)

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tomatoes On Toast

1. Start with the tomatoes: Cut the stalks out of your tomatoes. I used a little paring knife—easy. Drop them into boiling water for about 50 seconds, just to loosen the skins. Then drain, rinse under cold water, and peel. The skins come right off, and they look so pretty and smooth underneath.
2. Scoop the insides of each tomato into a sieve over a bowl and push the juice through. This stuff is liquid gold—season it with red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper and set it aside for dipping later. It’s tangy, tomatoey heaven.
3. Make the filling: Grab most of the smoked almonds (save a few for garnish) and crush them with a pestle and mortar—or just bash them with a rolling pin in a tea towel. Chop the parsley stalks super fine, and mix them with the almonds and goat’s cheese. Add a tiny splash of water to loosen it up. You want it creamy but pipeable.
4. Toast the bread: Slice your baguette in half lengthways and toast it until golden and crunchy around the edges. Not too hard though—you still want it to have a bit of chew.
5. Stuff the tomatoes: Spoon the cheese mixture into a sandwich bag, snip the corner, and pipe it into the tomatoes. This part feels very chef-y but is secretly really fun and easy.
6. Assemble: Drizzle your warm bread with olive oil. Nestle the stuffed tomatoes on top. Toss the parsley leaves in a bit of olive oil and scatter them over everything. Then chop up those leftover almonds and sprinkle them on top. Done.
7. Serve it up: Cut the bread into pieces and dunk them in that tomato juice you saved earlier. Honestly, it tastes like a summer holiday in every bite.

Why I Love This Recipe

I made this the other day for a late lunch when I didn’t feel like “cooking-cooking” but still wanted something proper and satisfying. It took maybe 20 minutes start to finish, and it felt so fresh and different. I love how every bite has a bit of crunch, a bit of creaminess, and that smoky-sweet tomato vibe. Also? It’s just pretty. It looks like something you’d order at a little café on the coast.

Recipe Tips

• Use the ripest tomatoes you can find. They’ll be easier to peel and taste 10x better.
• Don’t skip the tomato juice. It’s super flavorful and brings everything together.
• No piping bag? No problem. A spoon works fine if you’re not fussed about being neat.
• Toast your bread just enough. You want a nice crunch on the outside, but not so much that it shatters when you bite.
• Make it your own. Add chili flakes, a drizzle of honey, or some fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy.

How To Store Leftovers

• Fridge: Leftovers (if you somehow have them) will keep in the fridge for about 2 days. Store the stuffed tomatoes and bread separately so nothing gets soggy.
• To Reheat: Re-toast the bread, and let the tomatoes come to room temp. No microwave—it messes with the texture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can I skip the goat’s cheese?
  Sure thing. Ricotta, cream cheese, or even whipped feta would all be delicious.
• What if I don’t have smoked almonds?
  Use regular almonds and toast them with a little smoked paprika—it works!
• Is this filling enough for dinner?
  Honestly? Yes. Maybe add a side salad or a fried egg if you’re really hungry.
• Can I make it ahead?
  You can prep the filling and the tomato juice earlier, but I’d assemble everything fresh so the bread stays crisp.
• Can I use a different bread?
  Yep! Any good crusty bread works. Sourdough would be amazing here.
