Fresh Tomato Bread Spread (Low-Calorie)
A Catalan-style pan con tomate spread made by grating ripe tomato over toasted rustic bread, rubbed lightly with garlic and finished with a thin drizzle of olive oil and flaky salt. Lighter than the traditional version, using less oil and no cheese while keeping the fresh, garlicky, tomato-forward flavour intact.

Instructions
1
Prep
Toast the bread slice in a toaster or under a grill until golden and crisp at the edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Halve the tomato.
2
Toast the warm bread by rubbing the cut side of the garlic clove firmly over one side until the surface smells sharply of garlic.
3
Build
Grate the tomato halves on a box grater directly onto the garlic-rubbed toast, pressing until only the skin remains, so pulp and juice soak into the crumb.
4
Drizzle the tomato-soaked toast with olive oil in a thin, even layer. Season with flaky salt and cracked black pepper, then serve immediately while warm.
