This traditional Catalan dish is simple and versatile. In Spain, it would be equally appropriate for a second breakfast (desayuno), evening tapas, or along with other fare as a casual dinner. Supply grated Manchego cheese for topping, extra olive oil for dipping, and Cava (the Spanish equivalent of French champagne) and your backyard fiesta will have acquired a true Catalan flavor.

Exclusively for Prime members in select ZIP codes.
Method
Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds and juice from half of the quarters, and then sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
Put in a food processor and pulse several times until you have a coarse purée. Place in a serving bowl.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking.
Slice bread on a diagonal into 3/4-inch thick pieces.
Brush both sides of bread with oil and place on the grill, leaving for about 2 minutes and then flipping 45 degrees on the same side (to make a nice cross-hatched mark). Turn slices over and repeat on other side.
Once all slices are grilled, take a clove of garlic and rub it lightly over one side of the toast.
Place toast on a serving platter, garlic-rubbed side facing up.
Top with a tablespoon of tomato mixture and a few slices of Serrano ham.
