CREAMED TOMATOES ON TOAST
Juicy canned tomatoes melted into fragrant cream mimic an instant cream of tomato soup. Served over toast, they make for a simple yet indulgent breakfast, or anytime snack. This dish is inspired by a recipe in "Roast Chicken and Other Stories." In the book, Simon Hopkinson writes that his version was inspired by Edouard de Pomiane's "Cooking in 10 Minutes." Hopkinson bakes fresh tomatoes in garlicky, minty cream for half an hour. The version below, with canned tomatoes, woody herbs and a hint of cinnamon, is there for you when fresh tomatoes aren't - and, like de Pomiane's approach, takes closer to 10 minutes.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream, thyme and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- As cream comes to a simmer, drain the tomatoes (no need to rinse), discarding the juices. Add the whole tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To eat, place a slice of toast in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, and spoon the tomatoes and plenty of cream over the toast. Season with more black pepper, if you like.

ROASTED TOMATOES AND WHIPPED FETA ON TOAST
I love putting roasted tomatoes on toast with whipped feta, and it's the easiest thing in the world. If you want to make it fancy for guests, try this recipe. I like to amaze them and cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slabs rather than across. Creative cutting will take you a long way in this world. A word about the cheese: Make sure you press the feta or it'll have too much liquid in it to set up properly. If you're really strapped for time, you can substitute fresh ricotta for the feta, but it's not going to make your tomatoes pop quite as much.

Steps:
- Press the feta for an hour: Take a stack of plates, wrap the feta in a dish towel, put it on the bottom plate, and put the rest of the stack on top of it.
- Purée the pressed feta in a food processor until smooth. Combine the feta and heavy cream in a bowl and mix it by hand until it's smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Slice your loaf of bread into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Toast your pieces in the oven or toaster just until heated; you want it crispy and warm, but no color.
- In a large bowl, place grapefruit juice, tomato oil, garlic, arugula and herbs; toss to combine. Add more oil and grapefruit juice if desired.
- Spread the whipped feta on the toast, then put down a layer of greens. Top with a layer of tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, sprinkle the grapefruit zest on top, and serve.

CREAMED TOMATOES AKA TOMATO GRAVY
I've been eating creamed tomatoes over biscuits or cornbread my entire life. It's so yummy! For those who've never had it, it tastes similar to creamy tomato soup, but it's thicker. I grew up in rural West Virginia, and everyone always called it creamed tomatoes, but a few years ago, I found out that some people call it tomato gravy. Either way, it's the same thing. My hubby also likes to pour it over his fried or mashed potatoes! I hope you enjoy it. It's always been one of those down home comfort foods for me! Serve with homemade biscuits. Here's a link to a really good recipe! https://www.recipezaar.com/26110

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes in a saucepan or skillet.
- Add butter.
- Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender. (If using juice, then just bring it up to a simmer, and continue.).
- After tomatoes are tender, mix your flour and milk in a bowl until smooth, and add to tomatoes, stirring well.
- Add salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
- If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, either simmer on low until it's the desired thickness, or mix up a bit more flour and milk and add to your tomatoes.
- That's it! Serve over homemade biscuits, cornbread, potatoes, or whatever you like!
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your creamed tomatoes have the best possible flavor. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and grown locally.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream is what will give your creamed tomatoes their rich, velvety texture. Use a cream that is at least 35% fat.
- Season the creamed tomatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a touch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Serve the creamed tomatoes immediately: Creamed tomatoes are best served fresh. They can be served on toast, pasta, or rice. You can also use them as a side dish for chicken, fish, or pork.
Conclusion:
Creamed tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them simple or spicy, creamy or tangy, there is a creamed tomato recipe out there for you. So next time you have a few ripe tomatoes on hand, give one of these recipes a try.
