About

Pan con tomate is bread, a cut tomato, garlic, oil and salt. The tomato should be ripe enough to collapse. If you spread a cold salsa from a jar, you made bruschetta's cousin, not this. Rub, do not pile.

Ingredients

Servings

Baguette½
Tomato2 medium
Garlic1 clove
Olive oil30 ml
Salt2½ ml

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

Step 1
Toast the bread until the cut face is hard. Rub with the cut garlic.
4 min
Step 2
Halve the tomatoes and rub the cut faces into the toast until the bread is red and the skins are empty. Oil, salt.

Tips

A grate of tomato in a bowl is allowed if the bread is too delicate to rub.
Jamón on top is a different, also correct, breakfast.

History & culture

Catalonia's breakfast and a tapas default. Also the thing you eat while the rest of lunch is still arguing.

Tomato is New World. The rubbed-toast habit is 19th–20th-century Catalan, now peninsula-wide.
