4 servings
- ½ loaf (about 8 oz) day-old ciabatta, torn into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 ½ lb ripe tomatoes (about 3 medium), cut into 1-inch chunks

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Spread the torn ciabatta pieces on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the pieces feel dry and crisp to the touch.

While the bread toasts, combine the tomato chunks and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss and let stand for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes release their juices.
