Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs vine ripened tomatoes (seeded, peeled & diced)
3/4 cup fresh basil, sliced thin
freshly ground sea salt, to taste
4 -6 large garlic cloves, depending on your love of garlic
1/2 cup good quality olive oil

  • In a large bowl combine the drained tomato/basil mixture with the minced garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, remaining 1/4 fresh basil, oregano and thyme.
  • Let stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

  • Toast "lightly" in the oven (just a few minutes).
  • Pull out and place a small amount of tomato mixture on top of the lightly toasted French bread slices.

  • Toast in the oven until cheese has melted and its golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy.
