4 as a side dish or starter

Ingredients

1 small white baguette (French stick), cut into 2cm diagonal slices
generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

For the tomato topping

300g mixed baby tomatoes, roughly quartered

Method

Place a griddle (grill) pan over a medium/high heat.

Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil then carefully place the slices on the hot griddle pan. Griddle for 3-4 minutes on each side until even grill lines appear on the bread.
