Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, crisp bread and cool, flavorful topping. (Serve immediately)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider rubbing a raw garlic clove over the toasted bread while it's still warm.
If you don't have fresh basil, a pinch of dried basil can be used, but fresh is highly recommended.
Use a high-quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor. A balsamic glaze can also be drizzled over the bruschetta for added sweetness and visual appeal.
To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, assemble the bruschetta just before serving.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as roasted red peppers, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes.
