Method
Mix all the ingredients required for the tomato mixture in a bowl. Toss thoroughly to let the flavours mix and get to know each other.
Toast your bread in a dry pan on a medium low heat until deeply golden brown. Rub the bread with a garlic clove to lightly perfume it. Spread a layer of cream cheese on the bread before adding a heaping spoonful of the tomato mixture.
