Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Brush both sides of the sourdough bread slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the bread slices on the preheated pan and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant (being careful not to burn the garlic).
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic.
Mix in the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon the warm tomato sauce over the toasted sourdough slices.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
