Steps:
- For tomato mixture: Heat olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and saute until just starting to turn golden (don't brown it), about 1 minute.
- Pour into a large mixing bowl. Let cool while you chop the tomatoes and basil.
- Pour tomatoes into bowl with cooled oil mixture. Add parmesan, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss mixture well. Serve right away over toasted bread (spoon some of the juices along with it). Garnish with more parmesan if desired.
- To toast bread*: position oven rack a few inches below broil and preheat broiler. Align bread slices on an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet. Broil first side until golden brown, about 1 minute (don't walk away and keep and eye on them they'll brown quickly), then flip slices to opposite side and broil opposite side until golden brown.

Steps:
- In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
- Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
- Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
- To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

Steps:
- Slice baguette into 1/2" slices on an angle.
- Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl, like a small cereal bowl.
- Dip each slice into the olive oil and place on a cookie sheet.
- Holding your hand very high, dust a tiny amount of kosher salt over the bruschetta. (Better to skip this step then to do too much. I would skip this step also if you only have regular table salt.).
- Cut the roma tomatoes in quarters and remove all of the seeds. Then dice them into 1/4" pieces.
- Sprinkle the diced tomato on the bruschetta. There should be no more than 4-5 pieces of tomato on each.
- Put no more than 2-3 pieces of basil on each bruschetta.
- Dust each piece with shredded parmesan cheese if desired.
- Broil for just a minute or two, watching carefully. They can go from just right to burnt in a flash!

Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your bruschetta. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color and a sweet, slightly tangy flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to bruschetta. Basil, oregano, and thyme are classic choices, but you can also experiment with other herbs like rosemary, mint, or cilantro.
- Don't overcrowd the bruschetta: When assembling your bruschetta, don't pile on too many toppings. This will make it difficult to eat and will overwhelm the flavors.
- Drizzle with olive oil: Before serving, drizzle your bruschetta with a good quality olive oil. This will add a touch of richness and help to bring all the flavors together.
Conclusion:
Bruschetta is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, it's a dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give bruschetta a try! You won't be disappointed.
