Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices rustic country-style bread
  • 2 2 ripe tomatoes halved
  • 1 1 garlic clove peeled
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Toast the bread
    Drizzle the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Heat a grilling pan and lightly toast the bread slices until they are golden and crisp.
  • Rub with garlic
    While the bread is still warm, gently rub the peeled garlic clove over one side of each slice to impart a subtle garlic flavor. Alternatively, you can also mince the garlic inside the grated tomato for a more intense flavor.
  • Grate the tomato
    Using a box grater, grate the cut side of the tomato halves into a bowl, discarding the skins.
  • Assemble the dish
    Spoon the grated tomato onto each bread slice. Drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, and add salt to taste.
  • Serve immediately 
    Enjoy the tomato bread while it’s fresh and warm.
