Ingredients
1. For the tomato topping
2. For the bread and cheese
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 190°C / 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it so the bread releases easily.
Mix the tomato topping
In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, scallions, parsley, and rosemary. Stir in the olive oil and minced garlic, then add a small pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the flavors blend.
Toast the bread
Arrange the bread slices on the tray. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping once halfway, until lightly golden.
Add garlic flavor
While the toast is still warm, rub the cut garlic cloves over the surface of each slice. Keep it gentle so the garlic doesn’t turn harsh.
Melt the cheese
Top each slice with provolone, then sprinkle on the Parmesan. Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, just until the cheese melts; you can broil briefly for light browning.
Top and serve
Spoon the tomato-herb mixture over the cheesy toast. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes so the juices soak in a bit, then serve warm.
