- For the tomato bruschetta topping, add minced garlic, tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper together in a bowl and stir.

Notes
- *I like a lot of garlic and have adjusted this recipe accordingly. If you are not a garlic person, feel free to adjust the amounts.
- **The balsamic glaze I use and love is from Trader Joes, but have seen several at different grocery stores.
