Ingredients

• 1 loaf crusty bread (such as a baguette or ciabatta)
• 3 large ripe tomatoes
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices. Aim for around 8-10 slices in total.

Step 3

Place the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush each slice lightly with approximately 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.

Step 4

Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the middle is crispy.

Step 5

While the bread toasts, cut the tomatoes in half and grate the cut side of each tomato into a bowl using a box grater. Discard the skin. You should have a coarse tomato puree.

Step 6

Peel the garlic cloves and rub them over the warm, toasted bread slices. This imparts a subtle garlic flavor to the bread without adding excessive sodium.

Step 7

Spoon the fresh tomato puree generously over each slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the tomato-topped bread.

Step 9

Finish by sprinkling a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over each slice.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with torn basil leaves for an added layer of flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium Pan Con Tomate, basking in the fresh and vibrant flavors.
