Core and dice tomatoes. Drain any excess juice and transfer tomatoes to a medium bowl.

Chop Basil – Stack basil leaves and roll them into a tube. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the basil into ribbons and transfer to the bowl with tomatoes.

Finely mince 5 garlic cloves. Mix 1 teaspoon of minced garlic into 3 tablespoon olive oil and set aside. Add remaining minced garlic to the mixing bowl with tomatoes.

Season tomatoes with 2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to combine and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400˚F with a rack in the center of the oven. Place toasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut toasts into ½” thick slices, slicing diagonally.

Arrange toasts on the prepared baking sheet and brush the garlic infused olive oil on both sides of toasts. Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese and bake at 400˚F for 5 minutes then broil on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

To Serve: Arrange the toasts on a platter and the tomato topping in a separate bowl. Spoon the tomato mixture over the toasts and serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
