Baguette toast with tomato and garlic

Spanish-style baguette toast with fresh tomato and garlic is a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish. Known as 'Pan con Tomate' in Spain, this delicious recipe is perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or an appetizer. It combines the crunchiness of toasted baguette with the freshness of ripe tomatoes and the aroma of garlic, all topped off with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil.

Ingredients:

8 slices baguette (french bread)
260g
3 tomatoes
370g
1 garlic clove
3g
4 tsp olive oil
18g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and use a box grater to grate the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skins.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can also blend the grated tomatoes using a hand blender. Set the tomato mixture aside.
2. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. You will use this to rub on the toasted baguette slices.
3. Prepare the Baguette:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
- Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and toast the baguette slices for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Alternatively, you can also toast the baguette slices on a stovetop grill or in a toaster.
4. Assemble the Toast:
- Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven.
- While they are still hot, take the cut-side of the garlic clove halves and rub it onto the surface of each toasted baguette slice. This will infuse them with a hint of garlic flavor.
- Spoon a generous amount of the grated tomato mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Drizzle each toast with a little olive oil (about a half teaspoon per slice).
- Finally, sprinkle a dash of salt over the tomato-topped baguette slices to enhance the flavors.
5. Serve:
- Arrange the Spanish-style baguette toasts on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately while the toasts are still warm and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors!

Tips:

- Choose a good quality baguette with a crunchy crust and soft interior for the best texture.

- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes to enhance the natural sweetness and flavor of the dish.

- Toasting the bread lightly will provide a nice crunch without overwhelming the freshness of the tomatoes.

- Rubbing the garlic clove directly on the toasted bread releases its aromatic oils and ensures even distribution.

- Drizzle a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for a richer taste.

- Add a touch of sea salt right before serving to elevate the flavors.
