In a medium bowl combine the tomatoes with the basil, 2 tbsp. EVOO, vinegar and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together and set aside until needed.
Bring a grill or grill pan up to heat over medium high.
While the grill preheats liberally brush both sides of the sliced bread with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill 1-2 minutes per side until crunchy and you see grill marks.
Remove and immediately rub 1 side with the peeled garlic, making sure to get the edges.
Stir the tomato mixture and taste for seasoning then using a slotted spoon, pile each piece of bread with the tomatoes. Finish with a sprinkling of flaked sea salt and more basil leaves.
