Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 402kcal
Ingredients
- 1 loaf crusty Italian bread
- 1 small garlic clove peeled and sliced in half
- 4-5 Roma tomatoes sliced
- ⅓ cup olive oil divided
- 7-8 fresh basil leaves sliced chiffonade style (i.e. thin strips)
- sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat grill to high heat.
- Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally to create two long pieces. Brush the cut side of each half of bread with about 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
- Reduce grill heat to medium and place the bread cut-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side. (Note: Watch the bread closely at this stage as it can burn quickly!)
- Rub the garlic against the cut-sides of the bread. (The crispy bread essentially grates the fresh garlic.)
- Drizzle the top of the bread with the remaining olive oil and then layer sliced tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with sliced basil and sea salt.
- Slice into wedges and serve.
