Preparation:
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees). Combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with garlic and brush onto one side of each bread slice. Lay bread, oiled side down, on grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Turn bread over and lay tomatoes, then cheese slices on top. Cover grill and cook until cheese starts to melt, 3-4 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a platter and top with fresh basil. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
