Pan Con Tomate is a simple Spanish trick for turning bread, garlic, and tomato into an insanely delicious snack or light meal. The amounts here are very loose and describe the process more than anything - make as much or as little Pan Con Tomate as you like!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 1-2 servings of Pan Con Tomate

Ingredients:

  • about a 6-inch piece of French or Italian bread
  • garlic clove
  • very ripe tomato
  • good-quality olive oil
  • salt
  • a slice or two of jamon or prosciutto (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Cut bread in half lengthwise. Peel garlic and cut in half lengthwise. Rub the cut-side of each piece of bread with a cut-side of the garlic.
  2. Cut the tomato in half. Rub each cut=side of each piece of bread with the cut side of a tomato half. You want to really push as much of the tomato into the bread as you can.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Top with a slice of prosciutto, if you like.
