1 loaf of Italian or French bread, sliced ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick on the bias
½ head garlic
Kosher salt or sea salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Toppings of your choice (see examples below)
Chopped tomatoes with arugula or basil
Cooked white beans (topped, if you like, with sautéed kale)
Sautéed mushrooms (preferably wild varieties)
Minced anchovies flavored with wine vinegar and herbs
Thinly-sliced pancetta crisped under the broiler
Pugliese-style chopped mixture of summer vegetables (red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, oregano, flat-leaf parsley, basil, and red pepper flakes)

Toast the bread slices in a toaster oven, under a broiler, or on a grill, until they turn golden.
Immediately rub the bread with the cut side of the garlic. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and drizzle generously with extra-virgin olive oil.
Serve warm topped with whatever combinations of seasonal ingredients you choose.
