Observations

How should you store tomato and ham toast?
We recommend eating it as soon as you’ve made it. The toast may lose its crunch. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator.

Can you substitute the ham?
You can replace the Serrano ham with Parma ham, for example.

Can you replace fresh tomatoes when they’re out of season?
Here’s an easy-to-make alternative to pan con tomate for when tomatoes are out of season: you can use canned peeled tomatoes, whole or chopped. Mix the crushed peeled tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic, then spread a generous amount on your toast before topping it with ham. Enjoy tomato and ham toast all year round!

How much topping should you put on the toast?
Top your toast generously. Depending on the size of the slices, you can add more or less topping.
