• porzioni: 4 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 5 minutes
• tempo totale: 10 minutes

Ingredienti

4 slices crusty bread like sourdough or ciabatta (, sliced 1.5cm/ 3/5" thick (Note 1)

extra virgin olive oil (, for brushing)

1 garlic clove (, halved (unpeeled)

4 tomatoes (medium) (, ripe and juicy, at room temperature)

1/4 cup basil leaves (, roughly chopped)

1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (best quality you can afford)

1/4 tsp salt (, kosher / cooking salt)

Black pepper

Istruzioni

Preheat grill/broiler on high (or grill side of BBQ or griddle skillet).

Tomato Topping

Deseed (optional, note 2) - Cut tomatoes in half. Use a measuring teaspoon to scoop out watery seeds (reserve for other use, see post for suggestions) then dice into 1cm / 2/5" pieces.

Toss - Place tomato and remaining Topping ingredients in a bowl and gently toss to combine. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes for the flavours to meld and the tomatoes to become juicy and soften slightly.

Bread

Brush each side of bread with oil then grill/broil until golden and crusty - about 3 minutes on each side. (Or just use your toaster then brush with oil)

Rub one side of the surface of the bread lightly with the garlic.

Assemble

Pile topping onto bread with some of the juices. Drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
