Pan Con Tomate and Jamon with Garlic Sea Salt

This pan con tomate and jamon is a Spanish-inspired toast made with crisp bread, grated tomato, olive oil, black pepper, jamon, and Garlic Sea Salt. The tomato is seasoned before spooning over warm toast, then finished with savory jamon for a simple appetizer, snack, lunch, or brunch bite. Garlic Sea Salt adds clean salinity and a gentle garlic note that works naturally with tomato and olive oil. Assemble the toast close to serving so the bread stays crisp and the tomato, olive oil, and jamon taste fresh.

  • 3-4 slices of bread, toasted

  • 1 tomato, medium size, grated
