Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 clove garlic, halved (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.

    Infuse Garlic Flavor (Optional): If using, take the halved garlic clove and rub the cut side on each toasted bread slice for a hint of garlic flavor.

      Assemble the Toast: Lay slices of fresh mozzarella on each toast, followed by slices of tomato. Add a few basil leaves on top of each.

        Seasoning: Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

          Final Toasting (Optional): For a melty twist, return the assembled toasts to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes.

            Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately while warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
