Delicious! Served as an appetizer with a glass of cotes du rhone. My only complaint is that the taste of the tomato overpowered the goat cheese/garlic a little bit, otherwise, this was easy and yummy.

For a more authentic approach, roast the garlic and invite guests to rub the cloves on toasted bread themselves. Serve cheese and tomatoes on the side.
