Salmorejo, about as Spanish as you can get

I teach a group of 3 really awesome ladies on Tuesday nights for private English lessons. We have our class around dinner time so we always end up bringing snacks to our lesson. I asked if anyone could teach me how to make Salmorejo because its one of the things I have grown to really like and Fernanda said "no problem, just come a little early for our lesson next time." She whipped it up in front of me in less than 15 minutes. And it was super delicious!!! Its a good recipe if you have left over crusty bread. And with the raw tomatoes and olive oil, it seems to be a pretty healthy little tapa as well.

Salmorejo
5 or 6 tomatoes peeled
1/2 cup more or less of olive oil
a small (or 1-2 slices) piece of french bread or baguette style bread
cured ham (optional)
boiled egg (optional)
no more than 1/4 cup of white vinegar (according to desired taste)
salt (also according to desired taste)

Blend peeled tomatoes, vinegar, bread, salt and olive oil (oil towards the end) together in blender or with a hand mixer. Pour into a bowl and top with shaved, cured ham, boiled egg crumbles, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with fresh bread for scooping, spreading or dipping :)
