When markets brim with the red, yellow and pink hues of cherry, beefsteak and heirloom tomatoes, here’s how to welcome them back into your kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole garlic head

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup quark cheese

  • 4 tsp finely chopped chives

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread, toasted

  • 2 avocados, thinly sliced

  • 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced

  • sea salt

  • pepper

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 400F.

  • CUT off and discard top of garlic. Place bulb on a large square of foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil, then wrap with foil. Roast until garlic cloves are soft, about 50 min.

  • SQUEEZE garlic from bulb into a bowl. Mash into a paste with a fork, then stir in quark, chives, 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Spread over toast. Arrange avocados on top, then layer with tomatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining 2 tsp oil.
