Bread: Classic Bruschetta
If you’ve never done
this on a charcoal grill, you need to try
it. You’ll thank us later! This is
super easy and so delicious. Slice rustic
Italian bread into thick slices (1"
or so). Grill one or both sides (we like
both sides grilled). Immediately rub the
grilled side(s) with a clove of garlic that
has been cut lengthwise. Drizzle with good
quality extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle
with a little pinch of coarse salt. Serve
immediately. Best darn garlic bread you’ll
ever have.
The variations here are endless.
Another classic ingredient addition is to
rub the bread with a tomato half along with
the garlic. Sounds strange, but it’s
really good. Or you can add all sorts of
additional ingredients – from pesto
and goat cheese, to curls of pecorino romano
cheese and a few drops of white truffle
oil, and just about anything else you can
think of. Experiment! Enjoy!
Anything. Really. Part of the beauty of
this easy appetizer is that you can serve
it with whatever you’re drinking with
the rest of your meal!
