1
Prepare the Bread
Slice the crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices. You will need enough slices to serve the desired number of people.
2
Toast the Bread
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Place the bread slices on the grill or a baking sheet and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

3
Prepare the Tomatoes
While the bread is toasting, wash the ripe tomatoes. Cut them in half and remove the core. Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the tomatoes into a bowl. Discard the skins.
4
Add Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the grated tomatoes.
5
Season the Mixture
Add the salt and a drizzle of 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the tomato and garlic mixture. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

6
Assemble the Dish
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the grill or oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of bread.
7
Finish with Olive Oil
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the topped bread slices. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor.
