Ingredients
1
Loaf (or baguette)
Tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
(based on the bread's size)
Fresh basil leaves
to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
to taste
1
clove
Garlic
Salt
(optional)
Instructions
Preheat an iron grill pan (over high heat), it has to be very hot.
Slice your bread (about 1.5 cm thick). Now set the stove to low heat and toast your slices.
After one minute, take every slice and rub a clove of garlic (cut in half) over it.
Same with basil: take a basil leaf and gently rub it over the bread (don't worry if it breaks)
Brush some extra virgin olive oil over the slices and toast until golden brown.
Meanwhile, chop your tomatoes/cherry tomatoes. Remove the seeds if they bother you (I like them, they soak the bread).
When the bread is ready, top with tomatoes and basil leaves (and a pinch of salt if you want).
