Why this recipe works
Vegetable slices instead of bread
Four broad slices make two small breakfast servings. Toast describes the shape, not a crunchy bread texture. Sweet potatoes stay soft inside; very thin slices dry out more readily.

Method
-
1
Prepare
Peel sweet potato and slice lengthways into four broad pieces about 1 cm thick. Use unstable ends elsewhere; listed weight refers to usable slices.
-
2
Mix and season
Thinly coat slices with oil, salt and pepper. Dice tomato and drain watery released juice. Keep cream cheese chilled until topping.

3
Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Cook without overlapping about 18 minutes at 180 °C, turning halfway. Test with a knife tip: centres should be tender too. Extend rather than serving hard raw slices.

4
Check and serve
Let steam off briefly, spread cream cheese and add tomatoes. Serve two slices each with knife and fork; warm vegetable bases are softer than bread.
