It was easy to make and delicious! Are used fresh garlic though in place of garlic powder I felt like that would be better but I try it the other way too and it was delicious as well.

Had to make a last minute dish to take to a function. Everyone loved it.

Do you use fresh tomatoes or canned? In the middle of the winter on the eastcoast of the US the tomatoes are not that good, so I’d like to use canned seasoned tomatoes. Any good?

YUMMY!!! I added a few different types of cheese to the slices. What a quick and easy recipe with very good flavor!

I grill my bread first with olive oil. I also add onion to the mix with fresh garlic…nothing is better than fresh garlic. This is refreshing when you grill any meal with the fresh tomatoes. I also usually top (when the bread is nice and hot) with mozzarella cheese and then add the tomato topping. Then add parm on top of the tomatoes. I have made this for YEARS and even the kids love it.

Fixed this one to go with grilled chicken — used 2 cloves of garlic minced instead of garlic powder. FANTASTIC – as usual with Robin’s recipes, my husband was ready to eat more as soon as the plate cleared. Thanks, Robin, for making me look like such a great cook. Becky

This was pretty simple and straightforward and went over really well at the party I attended.

This was a nice, easy compliment to the “Basil-Marinated Chicken” recipe that we made. To make it even faster (and because the tomatoes at the store didn’t look that great), we used a can of organic chopped tomatoes. Worked like a charm!

Very easy to make, quick and tasty.

It was the best recipe I have tried the only difference is that I added fresh romano and parmesean cheese to it.
All my guests wanted the recipe
