I got this recipe from Giada on Everyday Italian. It looked so interesting so I had to give it a shot. It was so delicious (and easy). I will be making this a lot more in the future.
1 loaf ciabatta bread
1 clove garlic
1 tomato
Good EVOO
Slice the bread lengthwise and then into pieces about 1 or two inches long (think garlic bread size). Giada used a grill pan to grill the bread, but I just put it under the broiler. Get them nice and golden brown. Once they are toasted, drizzle with the olive oil and then quickly (while they are still hot) rub the garlic clove on each piece. Make sure to use some pressure the the garlic really gets in there. Once you have done that, do the same thing with the tomato.
Yes you actually rub the tomato on the bread instead of slicing it up and topping the bread with it. Sounds a little strange, but boy was it amazingly good. I was a pig and ate almost the whole loaf by myself. Luckily my wife has two or three pieces so her breath was as bad as mine
