Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ loaf Spanish bread sub ciabatta or rustic white bread
- 1 to 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 roma or plum tomatoes
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Slice the bread into 4 equal pieces (first horizontally, then vertically) and place on a baking sheet, crust side down.
- Spoon a little bit of minced garlic onto each piece of bread, spreading it evenly with the back of the spoon.
- Grate the tomatoes over a bowl, collecting the juices.
- In the meantime, broil the bread on high for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly toasted.
- Remove the bread from the broiler. Top each slice with a healthy portion of grated tomato.
- Lightly drizzle each piece of bread with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
Toasting the bread: Make sure the bread isn't too close to the heating element in your oven so you don't burn the bread. The perfect texture for pan con tomate is a light, crunchy toast to the very top of the bread - just enough for the inside to stay fluffy and soak up all the tomato juice.
