Killer Heirloom Tomato Toast

Turn on broiler. Cut the bread loaf in half lengthwise so you have two long slices, placing one underneath the broiler until it is golden brown.

Peel the garlic clove carefully, leaving the clove intact and trimming off the root end. Rub the freshly toasted bread lightly with the garlic, being careful not to damage your lovely bread. Butter the bread, then carefully layer the tomatoes from green, to orange, to pink, to dark red. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the salt, pepper, and basil. Cut into wedges, and serve.
