👨‍🍳 Instructions

Stir tomatoes, basil, 3 tablespoons olive oil, red onion, garlic, red wine vinegar, and pepper together in a bowl; let tomato mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to marinate for 45 minutes.

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Brush one side of each slice of bread with remaining olive oil.

Place bread slices, oiled-side-up, onto a baking sheet.

Broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes; remove from oven.

Spoon tomato mixture evenly over the top of toasted bread slices; drizzle balsamic vinegar evenly over tomato mixture.

Serve immediately.
