Instructions
1
Prep
Halve the tomato and garlic clove and set them beside the bread slice on a cutting board.
2
Toast
Grill or toast the bread slice in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes per side until the surface is crisp and lightly charred.
3
Build
Rub the garlic cut-side firmly over the warm toasted bread, then rub the tomato cut-side over the surface, pressing so the pulp soaks into the crumb. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter flaky sea salt evenly across the surface.
4
Plate
Lay the Serrano ham slices over the dressed bread, drizzle with extra olive oil, and serve while warm.
