Ingredients

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, torn (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting your bread slices until golden and crispy. You can use a toaster, or for extra flavor, toast them in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the bread is toasting, slice the heirloom tomatoes into thin rounds. Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks.
- Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, optionally rub one side of the bread with a garlic clove for a subtle flavor boost. Then, layer the slices of tomato on top of the toast.
