For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a high-quality olive oil over the bruschetta before serving. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use less as the flavor is more concentrated. For best results, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Try adding a sprinkle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
