• 8 french bread slices, cut sharply on the diagonal into 1/2 thick slices
• 4 cloves garlic , cut in half widthwise
• 1 large very ripe tomato , cut into 8 slices
• a cruet of extra virgin olive oil (preferably spanish)
• a small bowl of coarse sea salt
• a small bowl of freshly ground black pepper

• 1 Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• 2 Grill the bread slices until crisp and nicely browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• 3 Rub each slice of bread with the cut garlic, then with the cut tomato. The idea is to apply a thin film of tomato on the bread.
• 4 Lightly drizzle each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
