I really enjoyed this! I used ciabatta buns and made exactly as directed. I really liked the drizzle of olive oil and the coarse sea salt was a great finish. I didn't rub the garlic on the bread too much because I didn't want it to be too strong for the rest of my family. We had this with Recipe #219720. Made for Went to the Market. Thanks Lauralie41! :)

I toasted my bread under the broiler, rubbed with garlic and then used grape tomatoes. An easy and tasty snack! Thanks Lauralie!
