Ingredients
  • 1 fresh tomato per serving

For shiso aioli:

  • 1 whole egg

  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 cups grape seed oil
  • ¼ cup chopped red shiso
Direction

In a food processor, place the eggs, salt, lemon juice and shiso.
With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the grape seed oil to form an emulsion. Taste for seasoning. Slice rye bread ½ inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil. Grill on both sides until charred and toasted.

Cut one medium tomato and half a nectarine into slices and place both covering the rye bread.
