Instructions

Combine oil and minced garlic. Allow to sit for 15 minutes so flavors marinate. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chiffonade the basil.
Brush each slice of bread with the olive oil/garlic mixture and place in a toaster oven on broil or in your conventional oven. Watch carefully and remove when golden brown, brush the other side with the olive oil/garlic mixture and broil that side until golden.
Top each slice of bread with about 6 tomato halves and 6 mozzarella pearls, fresh basil, salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little oil if desired. I also used just a little bit of white balsamic vinegar.
