Last week I posted a cookbook review for Bliss on Toast by Prue Leith. Bliss is a delightful book filled with 75 recipes that are simple and yet wonderfully different. Like this one. Oatmeal bread is toasted, spread with mayonnaise mixed with garlic and nasturtium leaves, then topped with sliced fingerling potatoes and capers.
It’s gorgeous to look at and really, really fun to eat. A slice or two of this is a perfect brunch idea, something that will surprise every mouth at the table. Pair this toast with a bowl of corn chowder, and you have a comlete meal.
The oatmeal bread is very important and, tomorrow, I’ll post a recipe for the bread. In the meantime, here’s the recipe for this toast treat.
And corn chowder? That’s coming on Wednesday!
Now, go find some nasturtium leaves. This mayo is perfect for burgers or roast beef, too.
