Tomato Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or rustic bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes, until it is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Tomato Topping

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    While the bread is toasting, wash the ripe tomatoes. Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. Grate or finely chop the tomato flesh into a bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Flavor to the Tomato Mixture

    Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl with the grated tomatoes. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble Pan Con Tomate

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If using, tear fresh basil or parsley leaves and sprinkle them over the topped bread. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
