INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup olive oil

• 1 cup fresh basil, chopped

• 3 teaspoons minced garlic

• 1 (8 ounce) loaf Calabrese bread (crusty Italian bread), cut into 1/2-inch slices

• salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Mix oil, basil, and garlic in a bowl.

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Cook bread slices on the grill until underside is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread over and baste the grilled sides with about 1/2 of the oil mixture. Grind salt and pepper on top. Grill until bottoms are toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.

2. Flip bread slices over once more; baste with remaining oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
