4 slices of rustic bread (such as a baguette or country loaf)

2 ripe tomatoes, cut in half

1-2 garlic cloves, peeled

Extra virgin olive oil

Salt, to taste

Toast the Bread:

Toast the bread slices until they are golden and crisp. You can do this in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a grill.

Rub with Garlic:

Rub one side of each toasted bread slice with the peeled garlic clove. The rough texture of the toasted bread will help grate the garlic.

Add Tomato:

Take a halved tomato and rub it over the garlic-rubbed side of the bread, allowing the flesh to soak into the bread while leaving the skin behind.

Season:

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the bread and sprinkle with salt to taste.

Serve:

Enjoy as is or accompany with slices of ham, cheese, or anchovies for added flavor.
