Ingredients
Method
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
- Brush the bread with olive oil and grill, turning, until lightly charred on both sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and immediately rub the bread on both sides with the garlic clove.
- Meanwhile, working over a bowl, grate the cut sides of the tomato on a box grater until only the skin remains; discard the skin. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon some of the tomato pulp onto each toast and top with the speck, if using, and Manchego cheese. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.
