Toasted Ciabatta Pizzas

This is from one of my favorite cookbooks, Simply Delicious Food by Fran Warde. Many kinds of bread can be used in these fantastic pizzas. You can also use blue cheese, Monterey Jack, or Cheddar instead of mozzarella.

1 loaf ciabatta, split lengthwise
1 garlic clove, peeled
about 1/4 cup olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes, peeled and sliced (or not)
a handful of pitted olives
a bunch of marjoram
10 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
a bunch of basil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Broil ciabatta until lightly toasted, then rub with garlic, using it like a grater. Put the garlic ciabatta on a baking tray and drizzle with a little of the olive oil.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes on the bread, then add the olives, marjoram, mozzarella, basil, salt and pepper. Drizzle some more oil over the top. Cook in a preheated oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and crisp round the edges and the mozzarella has melted. Remove, let cool and wrap in waxed paper before packing (for a picnic).
This is so delicious.
