The French bread base in this preparation is added to soak up all the flavorful sauce. The thick slice of French bread is cut about 1” thick and on a bias cut, meaning at an angle. It is then coated with olive oil and toasted for just a few minutes before plating this dish. I have recorded the recipe as presented in the video demonstration here for ease of preparation and documentation.
