Now this is definitely more in Matty’s wheelhouse… Which is to say, like, there are components of brushetta I like, just not all together. However it’s the basic part of this recipe that I’m a fan of, as that’s the general path my eating habits take.
- 4 to 6 thick slices Italian bread
- Olive oil, for brushing the bread
- 1 large garlic clove, halved
- Coarse salt
- Topping of choice
Preheat the grill or broiler. Lightly brush the bread slices with oil and place on a hot grill or under the broiler until golden brown on both sides, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
When the bread is toasted, rub the garlic halves onto one side of each bread slice and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve as is or top each slice with topping of choice… Makes 4 to 6 servings.
