Heat broiler. With a rolling pin, roll the bun halves until flattened.
Place on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the buns with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Broil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, oregano or basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the remaining oil.
Transfer the buns to a platter and spoon the tomatoes over the top.
