  • Mix well to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
  • Brush the bread slices lightly with olive oil on both sides.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet or grill pan, and toast them under the broiler or on the grill until they're golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Once the bread slices are toasted, you can rub the surface of each slice with a clove of garlic for extra flavour
  • Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bread slices. Allow some of the juices to soak into the bread.
