Place bread on a baking sheet and place in the oven to lightly toast for about 5 minutes, or until slightly crisp on top and barely golden; remove from the oven.
While still hot, lightly rub the garlic cloves over the surface.
Then rub the tomato halves over the tops of the toasted bread.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil; serve immediately while still warm.
