Classic Bruschetta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2.Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven.

3.While the bread is still warm, rub one side of each toasted slice generously with a peeled garlic clove. This infuses the bread with a wonderful garlic flavor.

4.In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, fresh basil, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.

5.Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over the garlic-rubbed side of each toasted bread slice.

6.Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze just before serving.
