Ingredients
6 slices rustic country style bread or sourdough bread, sliced thick
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup best available virgin olive oil
salt, and, freshly ground black pepper
1/3 lb. prosciutto

Preparation
Toast the bread in a toaster or oven until it is very brown.
Immediately after removing the bread from the toaster, rub a garlic clove over the entire surface of one side.
Each slice should use up about 1/4 to 1/3 of a clove.
(Be careful, when the garlic meets the toast’s hot surface, it will create fumes that sting your eyes—just like an onion.)
Generously drizzle olive oil overtop each slice.
Sprinkle with salt and a generous amount of pepper.
Top with one or two slices of prosciutto.
Slice into 1-inch strips, or quarters, and serve immediately.
