Pan Con Tomate Crusty Bread With Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes. Flip bread and toast until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.
• In the meantime, cut the tomatoes in half and grate the cut side of the tomato on the large holes of a box grater into a shallow bowl. Grate in the garlic clove and add the vinegar, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine.
• Spoon the tomato mixture on top of each slice of bread, making sure to cover the toast completely from edge to edge. Drizzle the toast with a generous amount of olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Steps:

• Cut slices of bread about 2/3-inch thick. Cut tomatoes in half. Rub their pulp slowly into both sides of the bread slices to color the bread. Sprinkle both sides of the bread with salt. Drizzle both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Arrange the slices on a large platter. If desired, serve with very thin slices of the Serrano ham.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. Slice the bread at an angle into 20 thin pieces. Using 3 tablespoons olive oil, brush both sides of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices on the hot grill and toast, about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
• Cut each slice of ham in quarters. In a small saute pan, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook the ham until crispy. Remove the ham to a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
• While the bread is still warm, rub a clove of garlic on each slice of bread. Cut the top off the tomatoes and rub the tomato on the slices of bread. Drizzle olive oil on each piece and sprinkle with kosher salt. Top with a piece of ham.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven broiler. Slice bread into thick slices, generously brush them with olive oil and place them on a cookie sheet. Place bread under broiler and toast until golden.
• Cut tomatoes in half. Cut each garlic clove in half and rub each bread slice with the cut side of a garlic clove. Rub toast with tomatoes, squeezing slightly to distribute juice and seeds evenly on bread. Sprinkle with fleur de sel or coarse salt and serve immediately.
