Preparing the Bread

Start with slicing the bread. If you have a baguette, slice it diagonally to get more surface area. Toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness.

Rubbing the Tomato and Garlic

Cut the ripe tomato in half. Rub the cut side of the tomato over the surface of the toasted bread until it's nicely covered. For added flavor, you can also rub a clove of garlic on the bread before applying the tomato.

Adding the Jamón

Drape thin slices of jamón over the tomato-rubbed bread. The ham can be Jamón Ibérico or Jamón Serrano, based on your preference. The quality of the ham will greatly influence the dish's flavor.

Drizzling Olive Oil and Adding Salt

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the bread and ham. Then, lightly sprinkle with salt to taste. The olive oil helps to enhance the flavors and adds a luxurious mouthfeel.
