Pan con Aceite

Pan con Aceite is a simple yet delicious Spanish breakfast dish featuring crusty bread drizzled with high-quality olive oil and topped with a sprinkle of sea salt. This vegan delight is perfect for starting your day with a burst of flavor and energy.

Ingredients

• Crusty bread (such as rustic baguette or ciabatta) - 200 grams
• Extra virgin olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Sea salt - to taste
• Ripe tomato - 1 medium (optional)
• Fresh basil leaves - a few (optional)

Steps

1. Slice the crusty bread into 2 equal pieces, each about 1 inch thick.
2. Toast the bread slices in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
3. While the bread is toasting, if using, cut the ripe tomato in half and grate the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.
4. Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle each slice with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
5. If using, spread the grated tomato evenly over the olive oil-drizzled bread.
6. Sprinkle sea salt to taste over each slice and add fresh basil leaves if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Pan con Aceite.
