TEA SANDWICH BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. The bread is best sliced 1cm thick and toasted on a barbecue, but it can also be done in a griddle pan for ease at home.
  2. After that it should be lightly rubbed a couple of times with a cut clove of garlic, then drizzled with some good extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
  3. The toppings can be as humble or as luxurious as you like, from chopped herbs or a squashed tomato with basil, to marinated vegetables or beautiful cheeses, to lovely flaked crabmeat. The only rule is that whatever goes on top of a bruschetta should be nice and fresh and cooked with care.
  4. These are my favourite toppings. They will each cover 4 to 6 slices. aubergine and mint bruschette baby artichoke bruschette tomato and basil bruschette
  5. If you have a large loaf, cut it in half, then slice it crossways about 1cm thick. Chargrill these slices on a barbecue or in a griddle pan until they are crisp on both sides, then lightly rub each piece a couple of times with a cut clove of garlic.
  6. Drizzle with some good extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt. You can eat the toasted bread just like this, but make sure the oil is the best you can find otherwise it will never taste good.
