Bread and tomatoes are a wonderful combination. Combine it with garlic, and it's sublime! I almost burnt mine, and the fire alarm went off, but I scraped off the burned part and was it really terrific. Instead of a baguette, I used two Portugese rolls. I also used a brush to add a little oil (less than the recipe suggested). BF wanted more but I had to tell him there wasn't any more:( Will make this again, thanks Kathy!
