Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 loaf of wide (flat rustic bread, such as ciabatta or batard.)
  • soft goat cheese (peso, or ricotta cheese for spreading on the bread)
  • assorted heirloom tomatoes (thinly sliced)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • sald and fresh cracked black pepper
  • fresh basil leaves

Instruction

  • Slice the bread in half through the center, to make two large pieces. Use a sharp serrated knife and slice as evenly as you can.
  • Set the two halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Brush both cut sides generously with olive oil, and broil for several minutes until toasted. You can do this on a charcoal grill or in a grill pan on the stove top if you like.
  • Spread each half of bread with your spread of choice. Then arrange the tomatoes, slightly overlapping, over the top. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil. I sprinkle some small basil leaves as a garnish. Slice the bread into 2 inch slices to serve.
