  2. Cut ciabatta slices in half and drizzle with olive oil. Cut garlic in half and rub onto each slice.

  3. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place ciabatta slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  4. Remove from oven and spread with pea mixture. Serve immediately.

Recipe Note

This is a fun take on bruschetta with peas, shallots, and mint that I invented one year when my neighbor brought me a bunch of fresh peas. I have also made it with frozen peas.
