Authentic? Not. After eating another round at an Italian restaurant, it occurred to me that this is often inherently non-dairy, and I could just leave out the pesky olives, which I dislike and which tend to give me heartburn.
Dice:
1 Clove GarlicChop:
Fresh Basil
You can substitute dried basil if you're desperate.
Slice:
2 or 3 slices Artisan bread
The crunchier the crust, the better
Assemble:
Fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Lay the slices of bread on a broiler or baking sheet. Strew basil, garlic and onion and tomatos, in that order. Grind black pepper over the top. Drizzle with olive oil. Place in a cold oven. Turn to 350 degrees. By the time it comes up to temperature, it should be ready to eat. Alternatively, you can toast in a toaster oven. A surprising number of children will eat this if you call it tomato toast.
