Fresh tomato and basil on toast

A light breakfast sometimes keeps us  awake the whole morning. When I stay up late the previous night and still get up at the usual hour, I only feel like having a light breakfast, as heavy breakfast makes me more sleepy. 

This fresh tomato and basil on toast is a good choice in such mornings. The freshness and juiciness of the tomatoes bring about a very refreshing feeling. It was the first time I got fresh basil to use. Fresh basil can be bought at large supermarket but the price is often very high for just a few stalk or leaves. But  this time I could get a pack for quite reasonable price. I was so eager to try my first time bought fresh basil in actual green leaves.
