/Hot Pressed Toast/ Breakfast Variations from Jam to Marmalade

preamble

熱壓吐司對我來說,是一段上學時期的回憶。那時早餐多由父親準備,有一陣子他迷上了熱壓機,幾乎天天都是熱壓吐司。冰箱裡有什麼,就壓進去什麼;最常見的是巧克力醬和莓果果醬。我當時甚至懷疑,這是他偷懶的方式。

隨著求學進入營養系,家裡的果醬逐漸消失,白吐司也少見,更不用說單純抹果醬的早餐了。

最近父親似乎又燃起對熱壓的興致,買回一個新的模具,還特地準備白吐司,親手壓出金黃酥脆的早餐給父母。相同的是熱壓,不同的是,這次換成了鹹食內餡。等待上色、聽見香氣散出、掀蓋的瞬間,成了另一種樂趣。


Preparation of Ingredients

  • 白吐司
  • 青醬(可自製)
  • 番茄(好市多購得,新鮮度佳)
  • 乾酪(好市多笑牛乾酪)


自製青醬

ingredients

  • 新鮮九層塔葉 50g
  • 松子或腰果 20g(烤香)
  • 蒜頭 1 瓣
  • 橄欖油 60ml
  • (帕瑪森起司粉 20g)
  • 鹽與黑胡椒 適量

modus operandi

  1. 九層塔洗淨後瀝乾,確保沒有水分。
  2. 將九層塔、堅果與蒜頭放入果汁機或食物調理機。
  3. 一邊攪打,一邊慢慢加入橄欖油,直到質地滑順。
  4. (加入帕瑪森起司粉、鹽與黑胡椒,攪拌均勻。)
  5. 分裝至乾淨玻璃罐,表面淋少許橄欖油,冷藏保存。


吐司作法

  1. 將白吐司平放,抹上一層青醬。
  2. 依序放入番茄片與乾酪。
  3. 蓋上另一片吐司,放入熱壓機壓至金黃。
  4. 待表面呈現梅納反應後取出,即可享用。


Nutritional Reminders

  • 青醬中的九層塔與大蒜為整體增添層次,取代了過往甜味果醬的單調。
  • 乳酪提供蛋白質與鈣質,搭配番茄中的茄紅素,營養更均衡。
  • 食材分量以兩人份計算,營養與熱量分析亦以此為基準。


題外話

自製青醬的確特別美味。塔香與蒜香的結合,讓吐司風味提升不少。但每次摘下一大把九層塔,最後只能做出兩小罐青醬,只好小心分配。今年的收成已經不夠,明年得再種更多一些。


📌 Knot
熱壓吐司不僅是一種料理方式,更承載了家庭的記憶。從過去隨手抹果醬的便捷,到如今青醬、番茄與乾酪的組合,這份早餐不僅保留了熟悉的溫度,也延伸出更豐富的層次。
