"I have partnered with @MuirGlen and @thefeedfeed to share with you this very delicious toast, inspired by the iconic and wonderful @carlaphall‘s Pantry Guide! #ad I love using @MuirGlen tomatoes in my cooking because they are organically grown in Sacramento, which means I am getting the best of the California tomatoes!
@MuirGlen products are always certified organic because they believe that organic farming benefits consumers, farmers, and ecosystems. @MuirGlen has a long history of supporting organic agriculture, and this commitment remains steadfast.
I CANNOT tell you how ADDICTIVE this toast is! It has become a regular afternoon snack item in my home, especially with my kids! This toast, that comes together pretty quickly, is made with a spicy tomato garlicky sauce, with Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, which has green chiles in it! I add spices to it, to enhance the flavors. The cannellini beans are made with olive oil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, and some seasonings. The sourdough bread is toasted with olive oil, until nicely brown, then layered with tomato sauce, beans, and gruyere cheese, and broiled for a few minutes. It is finally garnished with chives, parsley, coarse black pepper, and sea salt! A good white wine with this toast is a MUST! The toast makes for a great dinner as well on busy weeknights! The @MuirGlen canned tomatoes are available at your local @WholeFoods grocery store.

- 1/2 28-ounce can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander, coarsely ground, toasted
Toast:
ingredients
- 8 1 1/2-inch thick slices sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 ounces gruyere cheese, freshly grated
Garnish:
ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

To Toast the Coriander:
Method
Step 1
Take 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds, place it on a small skillet over medium heat. Roast, stirring them occasionally, for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until you start getting the aroma of coriander seeds. They will brown slightly as well. Remove from the heat. Let cool.
Step 2
Place in a mortar and coarsely grind the seeds with a pestle. Look out for the texture.
For the Herbed Cannellini Beans:
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. After a minute, add the shallots and garlic, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground coriander, paprika, salt, pepper, and sauté for a minute. Add the beans and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the cilantro and parsley and mix it in. Remove from the heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mix and set aside.
For the Spicy Garlicky Tomato Sauce:
Step 1
In a small saucepan, on medium heat, add the olive oil. After a minute, add the garlic cloves, and green chili and saute for 30 seconds. You do not want to brown the garlic. Add the can of Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes. Add the salt, pepper, chili flakes, and coriander and mix. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want all the liquid to evaporate so that the sauce becomes thick and spreadable on the toast. Remove from heat after 10 minutes.
To Make the Toast:
Step 1
Using a pastry brush, brush one side of all the toasts generously with olive oil. On a stovetop grill on medium to low heat, put up to 3 toasts, oil side down, on the grill and let it grill and brown for about 3 to 4 minutes. While they are toasting, brush olive oil on top of the toasts. Turn the toasts to brown the other side for about 3 minutes as well. Repeat for all the toasts.
To Assemble:
Step 1
Set the oven to broil on high.
Step 2
Layer all the 8 toasts with the tomato sauce, and then the cannellini bean mixture. Top it off with the grated gruyere cheese. Place them on a baking tray and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch all the time to make sure you do not burn them. Broil until the cheese just melts, or you could brown it slightly.
Step 3
Remove from the oven. Garnish the toasts with chives, coarse black pepper, Maldon sea salt, and parsley leaves. Enjoy while warm!
