Rustic Grilled Garlic Bread

This is our favorite thing to make on the grill right now….

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: flexible

Prep Time: 5 mins   Cook Time: 5-10 mins  

Ingredients

Crusty Italian Bread (sliced 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick)

Olive oil (any oil will work for this, I used some garlic oil the other day and it was great)

Whole garlic cloves (peeled)

Tomato cut in half (optional)

Cheese of your choice, shredded —  mozzarella, parmesan, fontina asiago…. (optional)

Directions

Preheat Grill.

Brush both sides of sliced bread with oil.

Place bread on grill (45 degree angle to the grates will give you nice grill marks) & grill until desired doneness. Flip and grill other side.

Remove from grill & rub bread with garlic clove & then the cut tomato if using. If using the cheese, sprinkle on to taste & return to the grill to melt.

Enjoy!
