1. Set oven to broil.
2. Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet.
3. Mix together the olive oil and garlic powder in a small bowl.
4. Brush onto the slices of bread.
5. Cover each piece of bread with tomato slices.
6. Sprinkle with cheese to taste.
7. Drizzle just a bit of the olive oil over the cheese.
8. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
