Fire up your grill for medium-high direct heat grilling.
Spray a grilling basket with non-stick spray. You can also use a cast iron skillet or disposable pan.
Toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Transfer the tomatoes to the basket and place over direct heat.
Grill until the tomatoes start to char and the skins pop. Shake or toss the tomatoes and grill the same on the other sides.
Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
Place the bread slices on the grill and toast slightly on both sides.
Divide the cheese between the slices of bread, spreading it out evenly. Don't be shy with it. You might have extra cheese. You might not.
Add the tomatoes to the cheese. You can slice them in half first if you want, specially the larger ones.
Garnish liberally with parsley or fresh herbs and serve.

This bread is also excellent when drizzled with some slightly-reduced balsamic vinegar!
