Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic bread
- 3 large Ripe tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the baguette or rustic bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 8-10 slices.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet or directly on the grill pan. Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crisp.
Cut the garlic clove in half. Once the bread is toasted, rub one side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic. The warmth of the bread will release the garlic's flavor.
Grate or finely chop the ripe tomatoes. Place the tomato pulp in a small bowl and season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir well.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the tomato-topped bread slices for added richness and flavor.
Optionally, garnish each slice with a fresh basil leaf for a touch of freshness and aroma.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
