We trust that you’ve gained some valuable insights from this information. Now, let’s return to the preparation of the "quick & easy fresh tomato focaccia pizza".

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Dice as many tomatoes as you'll need and thoroughly squeeze the excess liquid from them in a two-handed fist. (If you're like me, you'll save the juice and pulp in a little bowl and take a shot when you're done. It's a given your hands are clean when you squeeze. ;) )
• Toss the squeezed tomatoes with about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic per tomato, about 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil per tomato, fresh basil to taste, and a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors, remembering that your cheese will also be salty.
• Spread a layer of grated cheese on the cut side of your bread first, then a layer of the tomato mixture, then a thin layer of cheese on top again to hold the tomatoes in place.
• Bake the pizza on a cookie sheet or sheet pan for 10 to 12 minutes, or until all the cheese is melted. And that's it! Enjoy. :)
