  1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.

  2. In a mortar, combine the garlic and salt. Mash together with a pestle to form a paste. Mix in the olive oil.

  3. Place the bread slices on the grill rack 4 to 5 inches from the fire and grill, turning once, until golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds per side. Transfer the bread slices to a platter.

  4. Cupping a tomato half in your palm, rub it over the top sides of 2 pieces of toast, squeezing slightly to leave a smear of pulp, seeds and juice on the surface. Repeat with the remaining tomato halves and bread. Drizzle the olive oil-garlic mixture evenly over the bread slices and sprinkle with pepper. Serve immediately with the garnishes arranged on top, if desired.
