Ingredients
Base
- 1 loaf of Italian or French bread, sliced ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick on the bias
- ½ head garlic
- Kosher salt or sea salt
- Freshly-ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Toppings of your choice (see examples below)
Toppings
- Chopped tomatoes with arugula or basil
- Cooked white beans (topped, if you like, with sautéed kale)
- Sautéed mushrooms (preferably wild varieties)
- Minced anchovies flavored with wine vinegar and herbs
- Thinly-sliced pancetta crisped under the broiler
- Pugliese-style chopped mixture of summer vegetables (red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, oregano, flat-leaf parsley, basil, and red pepper flakes)
Directions
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster oven, under a broiler, or on a grill, until they turn golden.
- Immediately rub the bread with the cut side of the garlic. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and drizzle generously with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Serve warm topped with whatever combinations of seasonal ingredients you choose.
