Preheat the oven and toast sliced bread until golden and crisp. Let it cool slightly.
Finely dice fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl.
Add chopped fresh basil, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of good-quality balsamic vinegar.
Gently mix everything until the tomatoes are evenly coated and flavorful.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bread slices.
Finish with optional cheese, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately while the bread is crisp and the topping is fresh.
