Notes

Make Ahead: If you make this recipe ahead of time, store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. If the oil solidifies, allow it to come to room temperature prior to serving.
Always toast your bread in the oven before serving. This technique helps crisp up the bread and warm it up.
For maximum flavor, purchase extra virgin olive oil for this recipe.
