Ingredients

8 slices country-style bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
4 garlic cloves, cut in half (optional)
4 very ripe tomatoes cut in half
Extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Spanish)
Coarse sea salt
Black pepper, freshly ground (optional)

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium-high.
2

Grill the bread slices until crisp and nicely browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
3

Provide each diner with half a tomato and half a garlic clove.

Rub a bread slice with the cut garlic, then with the cut tomato; the idea is to apply a thin film of tomato on the bread.

Drizzle each slice with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and eat at once.
