Bruschetta

Ingredients

• 1 narrow Italian or French loaf of bread
• 1 head garlic, cut in 1/2 crosswise
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and pepper

Preheat oven on broiler setting. Place a rack approximately 6 inches from broiler.

Slice the loaf of bread, on the bias, into 3/4-inch slices. Place bread in oven on sheet pan and broil until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes for the first side and 1 to 1 1/2 for second side. Remove to a platter and rub each slice of bread with the garlic and then brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
