- Meanwhile, slice the bread into long 1 inch thick strips, or possibly rounds, depending on the type of bread you buy. Drizzle it each slice with a little extra virgin olive oil on both sides. If you have a pastry brush, you can get maximum extra virgin olive oil flavor with less fat by brushing the oil on the bread.
- Slice the tomatoes and cheese into 1/3 inch rounds. The ends will, of course, create a few smaller pcs - which's fine.
- On a metal mesh, or possibly cookie sheet, arrange all the bread in one single layer.
- Put it in the oven.
- Chop the basil and peel the garlic.
- After the bread has been in about 8 min, flip it onto the other side.
- When the bread is dark and toasted such which the whole surface of one side is crusty, take it out. Cut a sliver off of the garlic, and rub the exposed end along the toasted side of the bread. Try not to puncture the bread. (NOTE: If your bread is too soft, you can broil it longer and/or possibly crush the garlic and spread a thin layer on each slice of bread. You'll need more garlic with this method) Broil the garlicky toasts another 4 min.
- Arrange a piece of cheese, and then a tomato to cover each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle with basil, and drizzle with about 1/4 tsp. vinegar, 1/2 tsp. oil per tomato, or possibly to taste. Sprinkle with a healthy pinch of salt.
- ALTERNATIVE PRESENTATION: Present garlicky bread in a basket, and arrange tomatoes and cheese on a platter. Sprinkle with salt and basil. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. Place one pre-made Tomato Napoleon in the middle. Allow people to serve themselves.
