Crafting
The first step is to prepare the base. We spread the bread slices with butter and fry them in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side. Immediately after removing them from the pan, we rub each slice with a clove of garlic.
To prepare the filling, we grate the tomato with a coarse grater and cut a few shavings of Parmesan.
We distribute on each slice of bread a couple of teaspoons of tomato and several parmesan shavings and we serve immediately. We must not let the tomato soften the bread; This should be kept crisp.
