Instructions

In a medium pan, heat 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil and 2 cloves of minced garlic, and cook until the garlic is lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Remove the oil and garlic mixture from heat and set aside in a mixing bowl.
Place the oven on broil and place bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast bread in the oven until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Watch the bread carefully, it can toast very quickly! You can also use a toaster, toaster oven, or grill to toast the bread.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and brush it with the garlic oil mixture.
Slice basil leaves into thin ribbons and halve your tomatoes and drop them into the mixing bowl with the remaining garlic oil.
Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to the mixing bowl and toss together the ingredients until evenly distributed.
Let the bruschetta chill for about 10 minutes in the fridge to enhance the flavor. Spoon the mixture onto toasted bread and serve. Option to drizzle with balsamic glaze, shredded parmesan, or pesto.
