Open toasts with hard cheese and tomato

  • 🍞 Whole-grain bread β€” 1–2 slices (50 g)
  • πŸ… Tomato β€” 1–2 pieces

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices in a dry pan or a toaster.
  2. Grate the cheese or cut it into thin slices.
  3. Slice the tomato thinly.

Why this kind of plate

The Healthy Eating Plate is a simple visual model of a balanced meal. Instead of counting calories and grams it shows what a plate should look like: half vegetables and fruit, a quarter whole grains, a quarter protein sources, plus a little healthy plant fat.
