Step 1

Toast or grill the Italian Bread (2 slices) .

Step 2

Gently smash the Garlic (1 clove) , cut in half, and rub each slice of bread with garlic.

Step 3

Cut the Tomato (1) in half (or cut off one-third of it). Squeeze the tomato over each slice of bread, making them nice and juicy. Drizzle each slice with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed) and sprinkle with Salt (to taste) .

Step 4

Top with Iberico Ham (to taste) . Lay each piece down one at a time, allowing the meat to sort of form ripples so air pockets form between the layers. Top with a few slices of Cheese (to taste) .
