Instructions

You can toast slices of bread in the oven- which is my preferred method, but you can also toast in the toaster too!
If baking in the oven set the temperature to a low 200 degrees. Place 1-inch slices of rustic bread on a baking sheet.
Brush with olive oil using a pastry brush. Bake for 3 minutes until toasted.
Place toasted bread on a plate.
In a small bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, and pour 1Tablespoon olive oil over the tomatoes. Toss to coat.
Slice cheese and place 1-2 pieces on top of the bread.
Top toast with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with chopped or snipped fresh basil & a drizzle balsamic vinegar.
Add a pinch of kosher salt.
Enjoy!
