Instructions

Toast bread slices until golden brown. Put in a basket.
Cut tomatoes in half and put face-up in a bowl. Put garlic cloves, salt, and olive oil in separate small serving bowls. Along with the toast basket, put everything out.
To serve, explain to guests how to assemble themselves by rubbing a garlic clove on one side of the toast, drizzling it with a little olive oil, then rubbing a tomato half over that. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. That's it.
