MOLISE

ISERNIA

Bruschetta – garlic bread

sliced bread
garlic cloves
olive oil
salt and pepper

variations:
include toppings of sliced tomatoes
anchovies
cut-up fresh basil leaves

The best bread for this recipe is home-made Italian or French bread, but if this is not available use fresh-baked bakers' bread or a long French or Italian stick.

Slice the bread and toast it in the oven until brown and crisp.

 Cut the garlic clove in half (to protect your fingers do not remove garlic peel). Rub bread immediately with cut garlic clove, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.

As an extra treat, you may want to top the bread with slices of ripe tomatoes, cut-up fresh basil leaves and/or bits of anchovies. Serve hot.

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top and put for few minutes under the broiler.
