Cooking Instructions:

Toast the bread slices in a toaster until the outsides are crunchy but the insides are still soft.

Cut the garlic cloves in half lengthwise. Using a half clove for each bread slice, evenly and thoroughly rub one side of the toast with the cut side of the garlic.

Cut tomato into 6 to 8 wedges and divide the wedges evenly among the bread slices, arranging them on the garlic rubbed sides.

Sprinkle each toast with salt and pepper to taste and then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil.

Finally, garnish each toast with a basil leaf and serve.
