Prep the butter spread. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, freshly cracked black pepper, and dried parsley. If using unsalted butter add ½ teaspoon salt. Spread each baguette slice with garlic butter and place them on a plate.
Grill the bread. Heat a gas grill to medium. When the grill is ready, place the bread slices onto the grill. Grill the bread, turning once and watching carefully; about 3-5 minutes.
Combine the bruschetta topping. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil leaves, and salt.
Assemble. Top each garlic toast with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan. Serve!

You can use a grill pan on the stove instead of an outdoor grill. Preheat the grill pan to medium-high heat. When hot, brush olive oil directly on the grill pan. Add bread slices, cook for 2 minutes, and flip to the other side. Continue flipping until the bread is nice and toasty.

Adding small mozzarella balls to the tomato mixture gives it a fun little Caprese twist.

To julienne your basil, stack your 5 basil leaves on top of each other. Roll the leaves into a small rope-like shape. Thinly slice through the rolled leaves until you have sliced through the entire roll.

Any rustic type of bread will work for this recipe, including ciabatta and sourdough.
