Classic Italian appetizer with fresh tomatoes and basil
Method
Prepare the Topping
Mix diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil in a bowl. Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
Toast the Bread
Preheat grill or broiler. Brush bread slices with olive oil on both sides. Toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove.
Serve
Top each bread slice with the tomato mixture just before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
