Ingredients

  • 6 lices rustic, crusty bread such as ciabatta or sourdough
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and cut in half
  • 2 beefsteak tomatoes very ripe heirlooms if possible
  • extra virgin olive oil for brushing and drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Notes

  • Temperature contrast matters – warm bread against cool tomato creates the best eating experience.
  • You can toast the bread in the oven or toaster oven instead of grilling if desired.
  • This is the traditional method for making tomato bread, but for more tomato flavor, you can grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater and spoon that on top of the bread instead of rubbing. 
  • The best way to truly appreciate this dish is with peak-season ripe tomatoes and excellent olive oil.
  • Temperature contrast matters – warm bread against cool tomato creates the best eating experience.
