- 2 cloves garlic peeled and cut in half
- 2 beefsteak tomato very ripe heirlooms if possible

- You can toast the bread in the oven or toaster oven instead of grilling if desired.
- This is the traditional method for making tomato bread, but for more tomato flavor, you can grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater and spoon that on top of the bread instead of rubbing.
- The best way to truly appreciate this dish is with peak-season ripe tomatoes and excellent olive oil.
