Tomato Bread

12 to 16 thick slices of crusty bread
2 to 3 cloves of garlic (op)
4 very ripe tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil to drizzle
Coarse salt

Toast bread slices in the oven, turning once, or in a toaster until golden brown. Peel garlic, if using, and rub desired amount on toasted bread. Cut tomatoes in half crosswise and rub toast with cut side of tomatoes, squeezing gently so that each piece of toast is coated with juice, bits of tomato flesh, and seeds. Drizzle toast with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste
