Ingredients
- 1/2 baguette or crusty long loaf bread, sliced (12 pieces)
- 2 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 3 small plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
- 20 fresh basil leaves
- Coarse salt
Directions
Preheat broiler to high, (if you prefer you can also grill the bread). Place bread slices on a broiler pan. Char bread on each side under hot broiler, keep an eye on it! Rub toasts with cracked garlic and drizzle with oil. Chop seeded tomatoes and place in a small bowl. Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Thinly slice basil into green confetti and loosely combine with tomatoes. Add a drizzle of oil and a little coarse salt to the bowl and gently toss tomatoes and basil to coat. Pile toasts around the bowl of topping. Place a spoon to scoop topping in bowl and serve.

To be as simple as this is to prepare, it has wonderfully delicious, complex flavors.

My husband HATES veggies, especially tomatoes. It took 5 minutes to make and 5 minutes for him to eat it up! I will sneak this into future meals!
