Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 2 rolls (Vinschgauer)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp spice mix (Za’atar with garlic)
  • 1 m.-sized tomato(s)
  • 4 slices of smoked cheese (Scamorza or Provola affumicata)
  • Sea salt
  • pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

A snack for 4 or a small meal for 2 people

Cut the Vinschgauer bread in half. Place the four halves on a baking sheet. Mix the tomato paste with the za’atar and spread it on the Vinschgauer halves. Wash the tomato and cut into four slices. Place them on the Vinschgauer halves. Season with salt and pepper. Cut four slices of scamorza, about one centimeter thick. Place one slice on each Vinschgauer half. Bake the bread halves at 200 degrees (convection oven) for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted slightly. Tip: If you can’t find Vinschgauer bread, you can also use rye rolls. Za’atar is an oriental spice blend. I use an Israeli blend made with hyssop, thyme, oregano, garlic, parsley, salt, sesame seeds, and olive oil.
