Loved it! Totally beats the traditional garlic bread.

Nice new twist on garlic bread. Tomatoes have just gone out of season here so will have to wait till next summer before we can try this again. Thanks for the post

I really liked this one. I used whole wheat bread and it tasted so good with the garlic! I decorated with basil. This is great to please a crowd and can be made to use for finger food with other types of breads, veggies and sauces. Made for Ramadan Tag game 2009.

What an excellent recipe! I really enjoyed the blend of flavours- so much healthier than garlic bread but just as tasty! I also brushed on the olive oil to spare the calories. Thanks for a definite keeper of a recipe!

This is fabulous! I was out of regular olive oil but I had a bottle of garlic basil dipping oil and used that. The bread is absolutely delicious and I will make this many more times. A nice way to use one of my millions of garden tomatoes.
