garlic (peeled but whole)

tomatoes

extra virgin olive oil

flaky sea salt

parsley

Serrano ham

anchovy filets

bleu cheese crumbles cheese

Choose a crusty bread. Slice it thickly (at least 1-inch thick). Toast it dry under the broiler until deep golden brown.

Rub a peeled garlic clove gently over the surface of the warm toasted bread.

Grate super ripe tomatoes over the coarse holes on a box grater positioned over a bowl.

Spoon the tomato pulp over your garlic toast just a couple of minutes before serving. You want to give the tomato juice a moment to soak in, but not so long as to make your bread soggy.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse flaky salt right before serving.

I’ve never heard of this bread so I am thrilled to have tried and loved it. My bread slices were on the thinner side so I had no trouble with it breaking apart. Also I never knew garlic would melt on hot bread so that was cool lol the tomato made a nice color and the taste Omg. I will sub this quite a bit for garlic bread as this was so much fresher. Thank you for this recipe!
