Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 slices rustic country bread
  • 6 ripe tomatoes sliced in half
  • 6 cloves garlic sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium hot. (See notes for other grilling options)
    Grill bread for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and grill marks appear.
  • While bread is warm, rub with the cut side of garlic clove.
  • Next, rub the cut side of a tomato on the bread, lightly squeezing pulp out. (Each tomato half should do 2 pieces of bread)
  • Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with flaky salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Best eaten immediately, but can be warmed in the oven if needed. Heat on a rack inside of a sheet pan so bread stays crunchy.
  • If grilling the bread isn't an option, you can use a grill pan on top of the stove, or use the broiler function in the oven.
