Ah, sliced tomatoes — the simplest of heroes! 🍅 Here’s a clear guide on them, including serving ideas if you want ½ cup in the morning:

Sliced Tomatoes: Basics

Ways to Eat ½ Cup of Sliced Tomatoes in the Morning

1. Simple & Fresh

   • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

   • Optional: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley.

2. With Eggs

   • Serve alongside scrambled, poached, or fried eggs.

   • Add a slice of avocado for healthy fat.

3. On Toast

   • Whole-grain toast + smashed avocado + sliced tomatoes + pinch of salt/pepper.

5. With Savory Breads

   • Pair ½ cup sliced tomatoes with Olive Monkey Bread or Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel pieces — they balance the richness and add freshness.

If you want, I can make a “½-cup breakfast combos list” showing how to combine sliced tomatoes with your previous items (bagels, cowgirl cookies, monkey bread) for a balanced morning meal. It would be a full morning menu guide!
