• Preheat the oven to 220 C• Combine the tomatoes, basil, vinegar, minced garlic and 3-4 tbsp. olive oil in a bowl. Mix to combine and set aside to marinate while you prepare the bread.• Brush each slice of bread liberally with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and rub with the halved clove of garlic. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, rotating once halfway, until lightly golden and crunchy at the edges. Rub with the halved clove of garlic again as soon as it comes out of the oven for an extra garlicy boost.• Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread, draining of the excess juices (which you can lap up with extra slices of bread or use for an awesome salad dressing later!). Drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Devour immediately!
