1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or tasty are best)
1 small tin tuna, drained and flakes
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
Thick sliced bread, about 4 slices

Brush bread slices with olive oil, then grill both sides, one of them only barely.
Rub the barely grilled side of each slice with the cut side of garlic.
