Wash the ripe tomatoes and cut them in half. Grate the tomatoes using a box grater or food processor until you have a chunky tomato pulp. Discard the skins.

Toast the Bread

Slice the crusty bread into thick slices. Toast the bread slices in a toaster, grill, or oven until golden and crispy.

Garlic Rub

Peel the garlic cloves and rub one side of each toasted bread slice with the garlic to impart flavor.

Assemble the Dish

Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous spoonful of the grated tomato pulp. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Add chopped basil or parsley on top if desired.

Serve

Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh flavors.
