Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Arrange the slices of French bread on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush each slice with olive oil.

Toast the bread in the oven for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown.

Chop the tomatoes and add to a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic and add it, along with Parmesan, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil. Mix well.

Drizzle more olive oil over the tomato mixture and toss gently until combined.

Assemble by spooning the tomato mixture atop each slice of toasted bread.

Serve immediately, optionally garnished with basil leaves or balsamic reduction.
