Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 2. Combine olive oil, tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Set aside. 3. Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until lightly toasted on both sides, approximately 5 minutes total baking time. *Note: bread should be browned on the edges, and lighter in the middle. Alternative method: use the broiler, but watch it carefully! - it can brown in seconds, around 50 seconds or less per side. 4. Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Rub cut side of garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice, and serve. | |
