Ingredients
 

  • 2 medium ripe red tomatoes
  • 4 large slices crust artisan bread
  • olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced in half lenghtwise (no need to peel)
  • assorted tomatoes and cherry tomatoes for topping
  • fresh oregano leaves
  • coarse salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice the very end off the tomatoes and grate them using the largest holes on a box grater. Grate them until you are left with only the skin, which you'll discard.

  • Brush one side of the bread slices with olive oil and toast until golden. I do this under the broiler, but you can also do it in a large skillet on the stove top. If you've got an outdoor grill fired up, use that!

  • Rub the top surface of the toasted bread all over with the cut side of a clove of garlic. The rough surface of the toast will take in just the right amount of flavor.
