Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 garlic cloves (or 1 clove per 2 pieces of bread)
  • 12 slices good (thick crusted bread, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, 3-4” wide (I used wider bread))
  • 8 fresh (ripe tomatoes, cut in half, seeded, and chopped into 1/2” cubes)
  • 8-12 basil leaves (torn into small pieces)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (fruity and young)
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper (ground fresh)

Instruction

  • Chop tomatoes right before you are going to grill bread. See notes on tomatoes.
  • Grill or broil bread to golden brown.
  • Smash garlic with a knife, Rub on bread once it is toasted. The recipe says to rub it on one side, but I like to rub it around the crust also.
  • Top with tomatoes, basil, and drizzle olive oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately
