Spanish Tomato Bread

Are you ready for an embarrassingly easy breakfast idea? I mean honestly, you don’t even need a recipe for this, but I’m giving it to you anyway. Mostly I just want to introduce to you this popular Spanish breakfast. It involves bread, olive oil, garlic, and a tomato. Maybe just a pinch of salt. You can’t go wrong there. You can toast the bread, or leave it plain, your choice. You rub the bread with a piece of garlic. Then you cut a tomato in half and rub its juices over the piece of bread. Top if off with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some salt if you are feeling it and you’ve got yourself a breakfast from Spain. You can get fancy and top it with a little cheese, ham, or sausage if you want to get crazy, or just enjoy it in all its simplicity.

I told you it was easy! Now you have yourself an entirely new breakfast idea!
