Garlic Bruschetta

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices crusty peasant bread, preferably from a large round loaf
3 garlic cloves, halved crosswise
6 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin

Preparation

  1. On a baking sheet, toast the bread slices in batches under a preheated broiler about 3 inches from the heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are toasted to a work surface. Rub one side of each toast slice with the cut side of a garlic clove, brush it with some of the oil, and season it with salt.
