Olive Oil with Toast

Original recipe by Lim H.B.

Estimated toasting time: a few minutes only

Ingredients Quantity
Extra virgin olive oil maybe a tablespoon for each toast
Salt tiny pinch
Black pepper, coarse grinded to taste
Slices of bread  

 

Preparing the ingredients

  1. Put some olive oil into a small bowl. 
  2. Add a tiny pinch of salt and some black pepper to the oil. Stir well.
  3. Toast the slices of bread until they are slightly brown. I use wholemeal bread, you may use multi-grain bread or white bread. But I think grained bread would taste better with this savoury mix.
  4. Spoon some of the flavoured oil over the toast just before eating. You may also choose to dip the toast into the oil though.

 

Optional:
You may want to rub a piece of cut garlic (with skin on), or tomato across the toast prior spooning the flavoured oil over the toast. This gives the toast a slight hint of garlic or tomato flavour without them being too over-powering. It's a rustic approach in certain parts of the Mediterranean world.

 

Bon appetite!
