Bruschetta image

Bruschetta is toast. Usually with olive oil. Often grilled. But no more than that-or not much more. You need coarse, crusty bread; the preceding recipe will give you the kind you want, but any peasant bread will do. The amount of garlic you use is up to you. You might split a single clove and rub it on the slices of bread after they're toasted; or you might mash a few cloves and smear them on, which is obviously stronger.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 thick slices coarse bread
1 to 4 garlic cloves, halved or peeled and crushed, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil as needed
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler or start a charcoal or wood fire. Broil or grill the bread until lightly browned on both sides. This may take less than a minute on a side; watch carefully so the bread doesn't burn.
  • While it's still hot, rub the bread with the garlic on one or both sides. Put it on a plate, then drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
