How to Make Grilled Bread With Tomato

  1. Preheat your grill, grill pan, or toaster oven.
  2. Slice your baguette into 1-inch thick slices.
  3. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil.
  4. Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. While the bread is grilling, halve your tomatoes crosswise.
  6. Once the bread is toasted, gently rub the cut side of the tomatoes over the surface of each slice, squeezing lightly to release juices and seeds.
  7. If using, peel and mince 1 clove of garlic. Rub the minced garlic onto the toasted bread.
  8. Drizzle the toasted bread with an additional 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  9. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  10. If desired, top with 1-2 anchovy fillets or 2-3 thin slices of Serrano ham per slice.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
