Diet:
This recipe reminds us of Italy, the bread rubbed with garlic with a drizzle of olive oil, thus mixing the flavors of the south. Indeed Phours ham brings us proteins just like mozzarella. Garlic not only flavors bread but it also has protective properties, especially against cardiovascular diseases. This protection is also reinforced by that of olive oil whose effectiveness in the Cretan diet is well established! So this recipe as part of a balanced diet keeps us in shape!
Tips
Variation of savory sandwiches: replace the thyme with chopped basil or chives and the country bread with beautiful slices of very fresh baguette cut in half and just toast the crumb side before rubbing it with garlic.
