It's Italian. I copied this from a 1999 post of mine to another news
group. No cheese.

"TOMATO-RUBBED BRUSCHETTA"

(Serves 2)
This bruschetta tastes best with tomatoes fresh
from the garden.

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

4 (1/2-inch-thick diagonal) slices Italian bread or baguette
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 small vine-ripened tomato
ä teaspoon paprika
kosher salt to taste

Prepare grill.

Brush bread slices on both sides with oil and grill
on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until
golden, about 1 minute on each side. While bread
is grilling, halve garlic and tomato crosswise. Rub
grilled bread with garlic and tomato to moisten it
(you may have tomato left over) and sprinkle with
paprika and salt.

Enjoy!

Now the recipe I use that I can't find calls for thin
slices of fresh plum tomatoes to be put on the grilled
bread after it's rubbed with garlic. (no paprika)

I recall the recipe saying "sprinkle with kosher salt
(the type that *sparks* when you bite down on it)."
