Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin, + more for drizzling
  • 2 slices sourdough or crusty country bread
  • 1 clove garlic
  • mayonnaise or butter
  • 2 beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes sliced
  • Maldon sea salt flakes
  • chives or green onions finely diced; optional

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and add the bread slices. Cook in the pan until browned and crispy, for about 3 to 4 minutes and flip and let cook another few minutes. Remove from the pan and rub the bread slices with the garlic.
  • Spread on your mayonnaise or butter (suggest about 1 to 2 tablespoons per slice depending on how large your bread slice is) and top with the sliced tomatoes. Finish by drizzling just a touch more olive oil and sprinkle on some Maldon sea salt flakes and diced green onions, if using, over the top. Enjoy immediately.
