Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the rustic Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the topping. Dice the ripe tomatoes into small, even pieces.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Mince one clove of garlic.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Take the remaining whole garlic clove, cut it in half, and gently rub the cut side over the warm, toasted bread slices. This infuses a subtle garlic flavor.
Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over each toasted bread slice.
If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
