Lets go!
Step 1 | Make the croutons
Cut rounds from 4 slices of (old) bread (white, brown or sourdough) with a cutter or shot glass. Drizzle the bread rounds with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and optional herbs such as thyme or smoked paprika and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Then let them cool down.
Step 2 | Prepare the tomatoes
Cut the top off the cherry tomatoes and carefully hollow them out with a teaspoon or skewer. Drain the tomatoes upside down on kitchen paper so they are ready to fill.
Step 3 | Make the chorizo jam
Heat a pan and fry 100 g of chopped chorizo (skinless) over medium-high heat until the oil is released (about 5 minutes). Remove the chorizo from the pan, but leave the oil in the pan. In the same oil, fry 1/4 finely chopped shallot glazed (10 minutes) and add 1/2 finely chopped garlic clove. Fry for another 1 minute. Then add the 40 g caster sugar, 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp red wine vinegar. Simmer for 10 minutes until it has a jam-like consistency. Stir in the chorizo and allow to cool.
Step 4 | Make the herb cream
Mix 100 g cream cheese with 50 g crumbled feta cheese and 1 tbsp chopped herbs (such as basil, chives or thyme). Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Step 5 | Build!
Place a small tuft of herb cream on each crouton to keep the cherry tomatoes stable. Fill the hollowed out tomatoes with a layer of chorizo jam and top with a tuft of herb cream. Place the stuffed cherry tomatoes on top of the croutons and optionally garnish with sprigs of fresh herbs.
