Bruschetta

• 12 thick slices Italian bread
• 4 - 5 whole garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions:
Toast the bread under a preheated broiler until golden brown on both sides. Rub one side of each piece with garlic, replacing each clove as it becomes small and dry. Arrange the toast on a serving plate and drizzle liberally with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
Serves 4 to 6.
