Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 roma or campari tomatoes
- ½ loaf of ciabatta or French bread
- 2 cloves garlic, cut in half
- extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Turn on your broiler to preheat.
- Take your bread and cut it in thick (3-4 inch) slices, then cut each in half so you have slices that have faces.
- Place your slices on a cookie sheet, face up, then brush or drizzle each slice with olive oil.
- Stick under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until toasted.
- While bread is toasting, take your tomatoes and slice each in half. Grate the flesh and insides into a bowl, using a grater or box grater. Discard the tomato skins.
- Once the bread comes out of the oven, rub each slice with a piece of garlic. Put on a plate, and spoon the tomato mixture over each toasted slice of bread.
- Sprinkle a bit of sea salt and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, if desired.
Notes
If you are using beefsteak tomatoes instead of roma or campari, you may only need 2.
