Spain's simplest, most perfect snack: toasted baguette rubbed with garlic and ripe tomato, drizzled with olive oil and salt, draped with Serrano ham. Pan con tomate is Catalan genius — three or four ingredients that taste like summer. The ham adds savory depth, but the tomato-rubbed bread is the soul. Don't overthink it.

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Pinch Salt
