-------------------------WALDINE VAN GEFFEN VGHC42A-------------------------
     2    6" Boboli bread shells or
          -similar Italian flat bread
     2 tb Ex-virgin olive oil with
     1 cl Garlic
     2 tb Fresh parmesan; grate

 1-1/2 c  TOMATO/BASIL TOPPING

 1-1/2 c  Roma tomatoes; seed, dice
     1 tb Fresh basil; chop
     1 tb Ex-virgin olive oil
   1/4 ts Salt

 Preheat oven to 400°. 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).
