Peel and degerm the garlic clove, then rub it generously over each slice of country bread for an authentic flavor base.
Halve the ripe tomatoes, lightly seed them, and crush directly onto the bread until it's fully soaked and vibrant red. Drizzle with olive oil.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper from the mill.
This classic tomato-rubbed bread pairs perfectly with terrines, charcuterie, omelets, or cold meats—a trusted favorite in Mediterranean kitchens for generations.
