Ingredients

12 1/2-inch-thick slices Italian or French bread (from about 3-inch-diameter loaf)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, halved
6 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Brush olive oil over both sides of bread. Bake bread until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Remove toasts from oven. Rub cut sides of garlic over toasts.

    Step 2

    Combine seeded plum tomatoes and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss tomatoes to combine. (Toasts and tomatoes can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover separately and keep at room temperature.)
