Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of artisanal sourdough bread, cut into 1" thick slices
• 4 TBSP. original unfiltered brown butter
• 2 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
•  freshly ground black pepper to taste
•  Kosher salt to taste

Directions:

1. Allow the brown butter to sit at room temperature until it becomes soft and spreadable.
2. Meanwhile, heat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
3. Cut the sourdough across into 1" thick slices and place on a sheet tray in one even layer.
4. Lightly drizzle the slices of sourdough with 1 TBSP. of the extra virgin olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper and kosher salt. Rotate the bread and repeat on the other side with remaining olive oil, pepper and salt.
5. Schmear the brown butter atop the warm grilled bread and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for texture. Eat immediate to appreciate the warm crunch and deeply toasted creaminess.
