The method
Step by step
- 1
Toast the crusty bread slices until golden and slightly crisp. You can use a toaster, grill pan, or oven.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the bread is well-toasted to hold up to the tomato.

While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe tomatoes in half.
About 1 min

Using a box grater, grate the tomato halves over a bowl, discarding the skin once you've grated all the pulp.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Grating ensures a smooth, pulpy tomato topping without large chunks.
- 4
Once the bread is toasted, take the peeled garlic clove and rub it vigorously over the surface of each piece of toast.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: This imparts a subtle garlic flavor without being overpowering.
- 5
Spoon the grated tomato pulp generously over each garlic-rubbed toast.
About 1 min
