Rub the garlic clove over one side of the bread slices; discard remaining garlic. Leave to cool. The slices can then be stored in a plastic bag for up to 3 days.

Scatter the tomatoes over the bread, then finish with the cheese. This can all be done upto 20 minutes before serving. Finally add a few rocket leaves and drizzle with a little chilli oil if liked.
