I can't believe I forgot about this recipe...

So easy and such a nice change from plain bread, or bread and butter, or garlic bread, I think you get the picture. As a matter of fact, here it is, the picture, I mean:

Pan con Tomate (Tomato Bread)
No, it's not my best picture, but it's sooooo tasty. It's a recipe from Spain and there are tons of ways to adapt to your taste. This makes up the whole loaf. Serve along side a salad or instead of garlic bread. Top with arugula, cured ham, or sliced tomatoes for a light lunch.

Pan con Tomate (Tomato Bread) 

Ingredients:
1 loaf of nice bread, ciabatta, rustic, the one in the picture is a rosemary sourdough
Olive oil
3 Large Garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
2 Tomatos, cut in half
Kosher salt or sea salt flakes

Slice the bread into 3/4" slices and toast in a toaster or oven until just starting to get crisp on the top. You want the bread to still have it's chewy/soft interior. When the toasted bread is ready, rub the cut garlic slice all over each slice. Next, rub the tomato all over each slice. The bread will be slightly colored from the tomato, but shouldn't be wet. Drizzle olive oil and then sprinkle the salt.

Very easy, very yummy. Enjoy!
