- Mix with a spoon and let the tomatoes marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, slice the bread and toast it on a grill pan or under the broiler for a couple of minutes until crunchy but not completely dry.
- Peel a garlic clove, then rub it on the toasted bread to give it a garlic flavor.

- Serve immediately, otherwise, the bread will become soggy.
Notes
For the best result, use crusty Italian bread. Otherwise, you can also use any crusty sourdough bread, Baguette, or Ciabatta bread.
