Savory Tomato Crumpets
A savory, Mediterranean reimagining of the classic crumpet. The unique honeycomb structure absorbs flavors, but here we bake flavor right in. Pre-cooked tomato cubes caramelize inside the dough, adding deep flavor and acidity to cut the richness. A perfect savory brunch where soft dough meets roasted vegetable texture.
