Slice the tomatoes into 5 mm rounds and pick the mint leaves.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat for 2 minutes and dry-toast both sides of the bread slices for 3 minutes, until their surfaces firm enough to hold the olive paste.
Spread the olive paste over the toasted breads and place the tomato slices on top.
Drizzle thyme, black pepper and olive oil over them.
Finish with mint leaves and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Spread the olive paste while the bread is still warm, so the sweet-salty balance settles. Do not drain the tomatoes; when they meet the olive oil, they soften the bread slices, which is the Aegean signature here.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Plate them, drizzle with extra olive oil and thyme, and complete the Aegean breakfast table with cucumber slices and strong brewed tea.
