Tomato toast can be a meal in itself, but it’s excellent paired with eggs cooked any which way, including our Diner-Style Scrambled Eggs<\/a>. It would also go well with our Leafy Green Salad<\/a>.<\/p>"

"@type": "Answer",
"text": " A tomato can only be called an heirloom if the seeds are passed down through the generations, and it has been bred true for at least 40 to 50 years<\/span>. Heirlooms are primarily bred for flavor and not for durable skin, so you won’t often find them at the grocery store, but they do make a great addition to this toast. They can’t be shipped easily, the plant yield is low and they come with a short shelf life—resulting in a high price tag. If you love heirloom tomatoes, consider growing them yourself.<\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Store fresh, ripe tomatoes stem-side down in a cool, dark place. Keep them away from other fruits and vegetables that may emit ethylene gas and cause overripening. You can refrigerate fully ripe tomatoes (stem-side down). They can last for about a week in the fridge, but it will compromise their flavor and texture. For sliced tomatoes, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.<\/p>"
