Cook the Cherry Tomatoes:
While the onions are caramelizing, halve the cherry tomatoes. Heat a splash of extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, and add the tomatoes along with a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are nicely braised and tender. -
Toast the Bread:
Next, toast the slices of sandwich bread on a hot grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a cutting board. -
Assemble the Toasts:
On two of the toasted bread slices, spread a generous amount of crescenza cheese. Then, layer the sautéed cherry tomatoes and the caramelized onions on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of oregano for added flavor. -
Final Touch:
Place the remaining two slices of toasted bread on top, closing the sandwiches to create four triangle-shaped toasts. -
