Garlic Bruschetta Recipe
- eight 3/4-inch-thick slices of crusty peasant bread (preferably from a large round loaf)
- 3 garlic cloves, halved crosswise
- 6 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
- On a baking sheet toast the bread slices in batches under a preheated broiler about 3 inches from the heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are toasted to a work surface. Rub one side of each toast slice with the cut side of a garlic clove, brush it with some of the oil, and season it with salt.
