- Cut the bread slices in half or quickly toast them in the oven to make them really dry.

- Grate the tomatoes on a coarse grater over a bowl to collect the pulp, discarding the skin.
- Season the tomato pulp with salt, pepper and oregano, then spread it over the bread.
- Crumble the cheese on top, add the sliced red onion and olives, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
Variations and tips
Barley rusk version. If you can find paximadia, the Cretan barley rusks, use them: they hold up better than bread.
