0 Drizzle each bread slice with a little bit of olive oil on each side. Get a grill pan, oil it up a bit, and place it over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the bread on each side until toasted and golden-brown.
1 Remove the bread from the grill and rub each slice with the half clove garlic. This will give the bread so much aroma and flavor.
2 Add the tomatoes to a bowl with a pinch of salt, the minced garlic, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil and stir. Top each slice of bread with a heaping tablespoon of the tomatoes. Optionally, you can drizzle on balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar. Enjoy right away.
