brush each side of bread with the oil, then either broil/grill or use a griddle pan until the bread is crispy and golden. This will take around 3-4 minutes a side. - ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Alternatively, you can bake the slices on a rack in the oven (450°f /230°c) for 6-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as it can go from underdone to burnt very quickly.
