Description:
I stumbled upon this delightful recipe in a cookbook not long after indulging in a similar rendition at a cozy restaurant. One secret tip I’ve learned: don’t skip rubbing the garlic on the bread’s edge; it’s a game-changer!
Ingredients:
- 3 plum tomatoes 🍅
- 2 basil leaves 🌿
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided) 🫒
- 2 garlic cloves 🧄
- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
- 2 slices of bread (rustic Italian works great!) 🥖
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, salt & pepper to taste, basil leaves, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside. |
| 2 | Toast the bread lightly on both sides until golden brown. |
| 3 | Take a garlic clove and slightly bruise it. Rub it over the perimeter of the bread, using the crusty edge to grate the garlic, infusing it with flavor. |
| 4 | Drizzle the toasted bread with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. |
| 5 | Sprinkle the bread with a pinch of salt for added flavor. |
| 6 | Toss the tomato mixture to blend all the delicious flavors and spoon it generously onto the warm bread slices. |
| 7 | Serve immediately, and savor every bite of this Mediterranean-inspired delight! |
