These Tomato Pepper Toasts with Whipped Basil Goat Cheese are so easy and delicious for a summer picnic! And the best part is, they utilize scrapes from juicing. I don’t know about you, but always hate throwing away kitchen scrapes. I have been getting creative with how to reuse things that are normally thrown away.
I used the pulp of tomatoes and peppers left over from juicing for the Portager Potable cocktail. Reusing pulp from juicing is a great way to keep kitchen scraps from being thrown away. Fruit pulp is great mixed into smoothies while vegetable pulp can be used mixed into stews. In this case, peppers and tomato pulp is turned into a sauteed mix for topping toasts! Along with a fresh whipped basil goat cheese, these Tomato Pepper Toasts with Whipped Basil Goat Cheese Toasts are irresistible for a summer snack, picnic, or happy hour!
