Take a dozen plump Italian Plum tomatoes or similar type smaller tomato and a clove of garlic unpeeled for each tomato and place on a cookie sheet.
Place a few stems of fresh Thyme on the sheet amongst the tomatoes and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil (salt and pepper to taste) and place in an oven pre-heated to 425 degrees. Cook for 10-14 minutes until the tomatoes have burst the skins and cooked down and the garlic cloves are soft to the touch. Remove the tomatoes and garlic, place on a dish and garnish with fresh thyme. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bread with the oil off the pan and toast in the oven on both sides. Place the toast points next to the plate with the tomatoes and garlic. Have your guests squeeze the garlic on the bread it will be soft like butter and place a tomato on top and pop in their mouth. Stand back as they will be reaching for another before they finish the one they have. Cheers.
