Dry the washed tomatoes. Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat; toss tomatoes with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Cook tomatoes in a single layer for 5–7 minutes, gently shaking the pan, until skins blister and split in places. Lower the heat if the oil begins to smoke.
Toast the bread until sturdy and golden on both sides. Gently rub each warm slice with the cut garlic.
Top the toast with the hot tomatoes and pan juices. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and finish with torn basil, salt and pepper. Serve at once.
Contains wheat/gluten in standard sourdough. Take care with hot oil.
