Ingredients: 

Six slices day-old ciabatta or French bread
1 clove peeled garlic, end cut off
Best quality extra virgin olive oil

Preparation: 

Preheat oven to 375. When the oven is ready, put the sliced bread on a cookie sheet and toast until the bread just becomes crispy and turns faintly golden. Remove the bread from the oven and while it is still warm, gently rub the garlic a cross the bread. Repeat until you have seasoned all the bread and then drizzle each with a little bit of olive oil. Use either as a vehicle for toppings or eat as is.
 
Optional: in summer at the peak of tomato season, after adding the garlic and olive oil, try rubbing the bread with a juicy tomato half.
