If you are looking for spectacular and easy-to-make appetizers, the loin and vegetable toast that we explain step by step below, will undoubtedly satisfy your expectations and those of all your guests.
We could say that toast is a type of sandwich, but the thing about toast is that only one slice of bread is used. Then, different ingredients are placed on top to form a mixture of flavors based on a piece of toasted bread. These recipes are typical of northern Europe and depending on the country they change the name, in Spain we have the Catalan toasts or the Basque montaditos.
Toasts in general can be sweet or savory, but the best thing about this type of gourmet canapés is that it allows you to make very striking presentations with few ingredients, as we have done in this case with a little vegetables, loin, arugula and cheese.
Ingredients to make Loin and Vegetable Toast:
- 2 slices of country bread
- 4 pork loin fillets
- 80 grams of red pepper
- 80 grams of green pepper
- 80 grams of cherry tomatoes
- 80 grams of Eggplant
- 80 grams of Zucchini
- 10 arugula leaves
- 20 grams of Parmesan cheese in flakes
- ½ small glass of olive oil
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of salt
How to make Loin and Vegetable Toast:
To make our easy gourmet canapés, the first thing to do is chop all the vegetables into small squares. Everything except the cherry tomatoes, which we will only cut in half.
Heat a frying pan with a little oil and brown all the vegetables over low heat until they are done and very soft. Next, season the loin with salt and pepper to taste and cook it on the grill using another pan. When it is golden on both sides, remove, cut into strips and add them to the pan with the vegetables. Finally, we toast the two slices of bread and proceed to assemble our loin toasts. To do this, we cover each piece of bread with the sautéed loin and vegetables, place the arugula leaves on top and finish with the Parmesan cheese flakes.
To make toast you can use the typical village bread or the typical fluffy homemade bread, with enough crumbs. This type of loin and vegetable toast is an ideal appetizer to serve at a gathering with friends while you drink a cold beer.
Remember to take care of the assembly so that the presentation is very elegant and if you want to know more recipes like this type of gourmet canapés, we recommend you check out the one with goat cheese toast.
