I came across these beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the market and was immediately inspired to create an easy summer meal of Heirloom Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Sourdough Bread.

I’m always looking for easy recipes for the summer season that require only a little oven-time and some simple slicing or chopping. So, this board of beautiful flavours really hits all of those notes!

So what is different about Heirloom Tomatoes? Heirloom tomatoes are grown from seeds that are at least 50 years old, generally they are considered an heirloom if they are a ‘variety that has been passed down through several generations of a family because of it’s valued characteristics.’  Each colour has it’s own slightly different taste and their colours in general are just beautiful, from the yellows, orange, red to purple.

You should see them starting to pop up in markets and stores soon, so it’s the perfect time to try them out with this Heirloom Tomatoes, Mozzarella & Sourdough Bread Board.  To me, this is the most wonderful combination of flavours from the fresh heirloom tomatoes, the creamy mozzarella cheese and the crispy bread. This recipe is perfect summer weeknight meals, a weekend lunch or for summer entertaining!

Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Equipment: large serving tray, baking sheet

Ingredients:

3-4 large heirloom tomatoes, variety of colours
250-300g soft mozzarella cheese (in milk)
small bunch of basil leaves
8 slices of sourdough bread
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Once your bread is done, remove from oven.

Then to create your board, slice the heirloom tomatoes and pull the mozzarella into smaller pieces.

Arrange the heirloom tomato slices on your serving tray along with the mozzarella and then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper.

Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to store them to make sure they keep longer?! I’ve put together my top 4 tips for storing fresh herbs:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Soft herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro and dill have ‘soft’ stems so store them like you would fresh flowers. For parsley, cilantro and dill, cut about 1 inch off the stems, place in a jar with water, cover with a plastic produce or ziploc bag and store in the fridge. Keep in the fridge and replace the water every couple of days. These can last about 2 weeks so when ready to use, take the amount you need and wash!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Basil is a bit of a tricky one as it’s very delicate. If purchased from the grocery store, it’s likely grown in a greenhouse and comes already packaged. I usually leave this at room temperature and use it within a couple of days. If I’m cutting basil from the garden, I’m generally going to use it right away. However, you could follow the same instructions as the soft herbs BUT leave it in the water at room temperature.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Hard herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage store well when wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, then wrapped in plastic and put in the fridge. They will last 1-2 weeks.⁠⠀
Mint is technically a hard herb because of its stem, however, I’ve found I can store either way mentioned above and it still does well.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-And, the best way to clean any herbs that you’re using is to get a bowl of cool water and dunk the herbs a couple of times so that any dirt sinks to the bottom. Refresh the bowl with clean water before moving on to another herb.⁠⠀
