Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette or rustic bread
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 sprigs optional fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the baguette or rustic bread into thick slices, about 1 inch wide.
Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet or grill pan and drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Alternatively, grill the slices on the pan for about 2 minutes per side.
While the bread is toasting, finely grate the tomatoes using a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skins. Alternatively, you can blitz the tomatoes in a blender for a few seconds if you prefer a smoother texture.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half.
Once the bread is toasted, immediately rub the cut side of the garlic onto the surface of each slice for a subtle garlic flavor.
Spoon the grated tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tops of the tomato-covered bread.
Sprinkle the sea salt evenly across the slices to enhance the flavors.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
