Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Slice the baguette into half inch slices on the diagonal and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, you should have about 24 slices of bread, and spray each one evenly with olive oil spray, alternatively you can grill them in a grill pan or use a Panini press like I did.
Place in oven and toast until lightly browned around the edges, about 8 minutes, take out and let cool.
Place some basil leaves on top of the bruschetta, depending on the size of them, one to three leaves on each.
Top with 3 slices of cheese and 3 slices of tomato, layering them as you lay them down
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with a pinch of salt & pepper and serve.
