Pan Con Tomate

This traditional spanish style snack is getting some big media attention right now and for a good reason. While traditionally you’d rub the tomato on bread, we’re asking you to grate it to get all that delicious juice, seeds, and a little of the skin for maximum benefit. Add on a protein rich optional topping to make it even more filling for a light breakfast or snack. This easily could be used for an appetizer too!
