Tips & Hints

  1. You can also grill the bread slices in advance, store everything separately in air-tight containers and compile once at your picnic or BBQ , Crush a clove of garlic into the olive oil and sit for 20 minutes or up to a day. Brush the bread slices with the garlic oil for extra flavour.
