If you want a more Italian taste, toast the croutons in the oven. Drizzle the lined bread with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
Place a slice of cured ham, such as jamon iberico, on the toast.
It is very good to season with a few anchovies, just put a few anchovies on the toast with tomatoes, season with a drizzle of olive oil, and the salt should be enough.
