- 1 loaf Crusty bread, ciabatta, or similar hearty bread Sliced and toasted
- 3 large, ripe Tomato Sliced crosswise into 2 halfs
- 1-2 cloves Garlic Sliced in half
- Olive oil
- Sea salt or kosher coarse salt
Turn on the broiler function of your oven and position a rack about 6 inches away from the heat coils.
Slice the bread loaf in half length-wise then in 2-inch slices. Brush the bread generously with extra virgin olive oil and arrange on a sheet pan. Toast in the heated oven about 6 inches from the broiler for 3 minutes or until the bread is lightly golden brown.
When the bread is ready, rub the garlic cloves over the hot bread.
Slice the tomato crosswise, and grate (rub) over the large holes of the garlic & oil bread. Discard the peels. Season with a bit of salt. Enjoy!

Such a pure and delicious appetizer/starter! It makes a great participatory activity for company. Set up all the ingredients on the table and let your guests make their own appetizers!
Day old bread works great. The bread needs to have some support as you grate the tomato and garlic over it.
