  3. Finely chop tomatoes and put them in a bowl with basil and 1/4 Cup of olive oil. (See "how to Chiffonade" for instructions.
  4. Add salt and pepper.
  5. Immediately after removing crostini from oven, sprinkle with salt then rub each slice on one side, with a garlic clove. Top with tomato mixture and serve.
Recipe Notes

The key to this being a really delicious bite is to make sure the tomatoes are home grown, really ripe and that they have never been refrigerated. In addition, keep it simple. The Italians like few ingredients in their dishes so the main attraction shines vibrantly, in this case, the tomato. Skip the onion, balsamic vinegar and added garlic that many recipes have. © Galley Chef All Rights Reserved
