Ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- a pinch salt
- 4 slices bread slices
- 2 medium tomatoes
Instructions
- 1Place a small saucepan over low heat and add the 3 tbsp olive oil, allowing it to warm gently (about 194°F / 200°F).
- 2Add the whole garlic cloves and a pinch of salt to the oil; stir to coat and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the cloves are soft, lightly golden, and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
- 3Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the softened garlic to a small bowl; set aside to cool slightly while you finish the tomatoes.
- 4Increase the heat to medium‑low and add the sliced tomatoes to the same pan, spreading them out in an even layer.
- 5Cook the tomatoes, stirring gently, until they soften, break down, and release their juices, about 5 minutes; season with a little extra salt if desired.
- 6While the tomatoes are cooking, toast the bread slices in a separate skillet or toaster until golden and crisp, about 2‑3 minutes per side.
- 7When the tomato mixture is ready, spoon it evenly over each slice of toasted bread, spreading it to the edges.
- 8Top each toast with a few pieces of the softened garlic confit, distributing the cloves evenly.
- 9Drizzle a small amount of the remaining garlic‑infused olive oil over the assembled toasts for extra shine and flavor.
- 10Serve the pan con tomate immediately while the bread is still warm, optionally garnishing with a fresh herb such as parsley or basil.
