00 minIngredients
1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 large very fresh cloves garlic, peeled and sliced in half
Sea salt for sprinkling
Directions
-
Preheat the grill to medium-low.
-
Cut crostini bread in 1/3-inch slices. For Bruschetta, cut bread ½-to ¾ inch thick and cut slices in half. Brush both sides of bread lightly with oil.
-
Place bread slices on hot grates, cover and grill, watching carefully, until bread is marked underneath but not charred, 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your flame. Turn the bread slices, cover and grill until marked on the other side and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more. (Or, if you're grilling something else at the same time, place bread on the outer perimeter of the grill grates.)
-
Transfer toasts to a board or plate. Rub one side of each piece lightly with the fresh garlic and sprinkle lightly with salt.
-
Serve the toasts immediately with your favorite topping, along side of a salad or any dish.
