A simple recipe that works well with most dinners.  Just make sure you use a good quality bun or bread.

2 garlic cloves, pushed through a press
2 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced (best you can buy)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut in slivers
Salt and pepper
Parmesan Cheese (or some mozzarella)

  1. Cut bread in half lengthwise and toast in oven until golden.  While bread is toasting, place olive oil and garlic in small microwave safe bowl and cook on high 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
  2. Brush garlic oil on bread.  Evenly top toast with tomatoes and basil.  Season to taste with salt and pepper. grate Parmesan over top and broil for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
