Having overripe tomatoes is a great problem to have.
But now I'll be moving on. Because it's almost August, and there’s one summery topping worth leaving avocado in the hot dust for: tomatoes. Specifically, smashed tomatoes.
Smashed-tomato toast is a juicy, healthful, and yes, Instagram-worthy snack. And because there's no slicing, pitting, or scraping involved, smashed tomato toast is even easier than avocado toast. All you need is some toasted bread and a really ripe batch of cherry tomatoes. Take a handful of those tomatoes and stack them on top of the toast. Then, using a blunt instrument , press down on the tomatoes, puncturing the wrinkly flesh and spreading those juices into the bread’s nooks and crannies. If you put a layer of goat cheese or mascarpone down first, even better. Just don’t over-squash the tomatoes—you’re going for a chunky jam, not a puree.
