Sourdough Cherry Tomato Toast with Non Dairy Cream Cheese. Easy to make and perfect for lunch, lighter dinner, appetizer or breakfast. It’s great any time of day!
It’s the beginning of October and still extremely hot here in Atlanta. I’m definitely not ready for a pumpkin season yet! Am I the only one?? Summer is the time for fresh tomatoes, and I’m taking advantage of them all season long! This recipe combines toasted sourdough bread, homemade non dairy cream cheese and cherry tomatoes.
The almond cream cheese is not as creamy as for example cashew cream cheese would be, but I think the texture is just perfect to spread on toasts and crackers. For the bread, choose your favorite kind. I usually go for a sprouted whole wheat, but honestly there’s nothing better like a good sourdough from the local farmers market!
To make the vegan cream cheese I took a recipe from this sourdough fig toast with non dairy cream cheese and added fresh herbs. You can also make the basic version, divide it in half and then add herbs to one half!
HOW TO MAKE BEST NON DAIRY CREAM CHEESE RECIPE
This non dairy cream cheese recipe requires basic ingredients and only a few easy steps! First and the most important – blanch the almonds.
HOW TO BLANCH ALMONDS THE EASY WAY
Before I discovered this amazing idea I would soak almonds overnight and peel them in the morning. It’s a great way but too time consuming if you’re in hurry.
Boil a pot of water. Once the water is boiling add almonds and boil for exactly 1 minute.
Then, drain the almonds and rinse with cold water.
Squeeze each almond to remove the skin. and that’s it!!
Once you have your almonds blanched, toss them in a food processor or high speed blender along with extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil, lemon juice, water, nutritional yeast and salt. Process until smooth and creamy. Then stir in fresh herbs. Adjust to your taste.
