Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces day-old Italian bread, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
6 dead-ripe meaty tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into quarters
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/3 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
7 or 8 grindings black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place a small saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. When it's about half melted, throw in the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the garlic to take on a little bit of color. Remove from the heat and brush this mixture on both sides of each slice of bread.
  • 2. Oil the grill racks. Preheat your grill using all burners set on high and with the lid closed for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 3. Place the bread on the grill, close the lid, and cook, turning once, until well marked. Careful here; depending on the moisture content of the bread, this could happen as quickly as 2 minutes (or about 1 minute on each side), but it usually takes about 4 minutes. Place the tomatoes on the grill, close the lid, and cook for a few minutes per side.
  • 4. Remove the bread to a cutting board, cut into 3/4-inch cubes, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss gently with your hands to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings if you desire. Serve at room temperature.

Yield Makes 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 5

1-2 ounces fresh goat cheese (2 tablespoons = 1 ounce)
2 slices olive bread or any rustic country bread
3 1/4-inch grilled eggplant slices*
1/2 large roasted red pepper**
1 teaspoon lightly salted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Spread goat cheese on one side of bread.
  • 2. Place eggplant and pepper on the other piece of bread.
  • 3. Close sandwich.
  • 4. Spread evenly 1/2 teaspoon of butter onto each slice of bread.
  • 5. Grill over moderate heat for approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • *To grill eggplant:
  • Slice thinly, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and grill or broil for 4-5 minutes.
  • **To roast peppers (also available in jars):
  • Hold peppers over a flame until blackened, place peppers in a paper bag, peel and discard skins when cooled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like sourdough, ciabatta, or French bread will hold up well to grilling.
  • Slice the bread properly: For best results, slice the bread about 1-inch thick.
  • Brush the bread with oil: This will help the bread to toast evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Season the bread: Before grilling, season the bread with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Grill the bread over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice, charred crust on the outside while keeping the inside soft and chewy.
  • Flip the bread once: Only flip the bread once during grilling to avoid making it soggy.
  • Remove the bread from the grill when it is toasted to your liking: The bread should be slightly charred on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside.

Conclusion:

Grilled bread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make a variety of other dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. The next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give grilled bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
