Preparation
- Make the crostini: Turn the oven to broil on high.
- Trim off the ends of the multi-grain bread, then slice crosswise into 12 even pieces. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush on both sides with the olive oil.
- Broil on each side for 2–5 minutes, until golden brown, watching closely to make sure the bread doesn’t burn. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Make the heirloom tomato topping: Finely dice the red and yellow tomatoes and place in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, pepper, and sliced basil. Mix well. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Spoon the tomato mixture onto 4 of the crostini, then garnish with the Parmesan cheese, flaky sea salt, more pepper, and the whole basil leaves.
- Enjoy!
