Anything rubbed on hot grilled bread is delicious, but nothing beats ripe, juicy summer tomatoes. The sweet tomato is enhanced by the hot bread. Stack these high on a platter and offer them instead of plain bread for an alfresco lunch with soup or a salad. You can also make this on an outdoor barbecue grill.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
