Ingredients:


2 crusts boboli bread shells or similar Italian flat bread 6 inch

2 tablespoons ex-virgin olive oil with

1 clove garlic

2 tablespoons fresh parmesan -- grate

1 1/2 cups tomato/basil topping

1 1/2 cups roma tomatoes; seed -- dice

1 tablespoon fresh basil -- chop

1 tablespoon ex-virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt
 

Preparation / Directions:


Preheat oven to 400F. GARLIC-OIL-Let 1 clove garlic soak in 2 tb olive oil for 1 hour before using. Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with foil. Dribble 2 tb garlic oil over Boboli, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until hot, but not crisped or dried. Cut the Boboli into 6 wedges or 2x2" squares. Remove to a serving plate and cover, generously, with a cold tomato/basil topping, serve immediately. TOPPING-Blend all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Just prior to serving, drain in a colander or strainer to eliminate excess liquid. (My Note: I would prefer minced garlic mixed with the olive oil). Source: The Olive Garden.
