A quick recipe for your Tuesday afternoon snacking needs!
The Base: Toast a thick slice of sourdough or crusty bread until deeply golden.
The Garlic Trick: Cut a raw garlic clove in half and rub the cut side firmly across the rough surface of the hot toast. It acts like a grater, leaving behind an incredible, subtle garlic flavor.
The Layers: Top with sliced fresh mozzarella (or a smear of ricotta/cream cheese), ripe tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves.
The Finish: Drizzle generously with good olive oil, a splash of balsamic glaze if you have it, and a heavy pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Yum!
