Pan con Tomate
These tomato toasts are made with only a few simple ingredients but are one of the most delicious appetizers you’ll ever try!
Ingredients
For the Pan con Tomate
- 6-8 Slices crusty bread
- 2 Cloves garlic
- 4 Large, ripe tomatoes
- Olive oil
- Flaky sea salt such as Maldon
For Serving (optional)
- Fresh basil
- Fresh oregano
- Spanish cheese such as Manchego
- Jamón or prosciutto
Instructions
- Using the largest holes of a box grater, grate two of the tomatoes into a bowl. Over the sink, pour the grated tomatoes through a sieve to drain the excess water. Transfer the tomatoes back to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining two tomatoes in half.
- Grill or toast the bread until lightly charred. Peel the garlic cloves and cut the woody ends off. Rub each piece of bread with the cut side of the garlic cloves.
- Serve the bread with the cut tomatoes, the grated tomato, olive oil and flaky sea salt.
- For the first technique, spoon the grated tomato over the bread followed by a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- For the second technique, rub one of the cut tomatoes directly onto the grilled bread, followed by the olive oil and salt.
- Garnish with basil and oregano if you want, see which technique you like best, and enjoy!
