Ingredients
- 1 loaf Rustic bread (such as a baguette or ciabatta)
- 2 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 clove Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 slices Serrano ham
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your broiler to high.
Step 2
Slice the rustic bread into 1-inch thick slices, aiming for about 6 slices total. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Lightly toast the bread in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until just golden and crisp on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 4
While the bread is toasting, cut the tomatoes in half and grate the cut sides on a box grater into a bowl. Discard the skins. Season the grated tomato with sea salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.
Step 5
Peel the garlic clove and rub it gently over the surface of each toasted bread slice, adding a subtle garlic aroma.
Step 6
Spoon the grated tomato mixture generously over each slice of bread, spreading it to cover the surface evenly.
Step 7
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomato-covered bread slices.
Step 8
Top each slice with a piece of Serrano ham, folding or tearing the ham if necessary to fit neatly.
Step 9
Serve the Spanish Tomato Bread with Serrano Ham immediately, while the bread is still slightly warm and crispy.
