Instructions
Preheat oven to broil.
Lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toast the bread under the broiler for a few minutes on each side, keeping close watch on it so it doesn't burn, or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and immediately rub the toasted bread with the peeled garlic cloves. Set to the side.
When ready to serve, pile on the cooked white bean, chorizo and chard mixture, on top of the toasted garlic bread from earlier. Add a few peels of Manchego cheese at the end, on top of each bruschetta. Filling can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Reheat before serving. Enjoy!
