Ingredients
  • 4 garlic scapes, coarsely chopped
  • ½ pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp. Kosher salt
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 4 slices crusty bread
  • 4 large slices ripe tomato, the best you can find
  • Maldon sea salt, or other flaky salt
Instructions
  1. To make the butter, put the scapes in the bowl of a mini processor and process until finely minced.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced scapes, Kosher salt and lemon zest.
  3. Scoop butter into ramekins and chill until ready to use. (Butter can be made ahead. Remove from refrigerator and allow to soften a bit before proceeding.)
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan and toast the bread on both sides until well toasted (you want some dark spots).
  5. Spread some butter on each slice of bread. Top with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Serve immediately.
