Ingredients

1 loaf ciabatta
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves
1 tomatoes, halved crosswise
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice ciabatta in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 1\" slices.
Place bread on grill pan cut side down and grill until golden and crisp.
Working quickly, drizzle the toasted side with olive oil.

It is important to do this while the bread is still hot or warm so that the garlic melts into the bread.
