Catalan Tomato Bread (Pan con Tomate)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic (cut in half)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil (or more to taste)
- 1/4 large ripe tomato (cut into quarters)
- salt to taste
- 1/2 baguette
Instructions
- Cut baguette into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place baguette slices on a cookie sheet and broil in the oven until the top is browned. Alternately, place baguette slices directly on a charcoal or gas grill grate and grill until the top is browned.
- Flip baguette slices over and brush with olive oil. Toast under broiler or on grill grate until browned.
- Remove baguette slices from the oven/grill.
- While still hot, rub the cut side of the garlic on one side of the toasted baguette slices, allowing the rough crumbs to scour the surface.
- Rub the cut sides of the tomato quarter over one side of the toasted baguette slices so that some of the flesh gets scraped onto the surface of the bread.
- Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve immediately.
