Heat a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
- 2
Toast bread slices 90 seconds per side until edges char and surface turns golden.
- 3
Rub each warm toast with a cut garlic clove, pressing gently so it dissolves into the bread.
- 4
Cut tomatoes in half and squeeze halves over a small bowl to release juices, then roughly chop the flesh.

Divide tomato onto toasts, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with fleur de sel and black pepper.
