Make garlic toast. Take sliced bread, add brush one tablespoon of olive oil on both side, sprinkle with with garlic powder lightly, sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano salt and pepper on both sides. Bake on 430 degree hot oven until light brown. Take out. Add a slice of sliced tomato then fresh Mozzarella. Sprinkle more olive oil over top,  drizzle with a really good grade balsamic vinegar, salt pepper to taste. Add a fresh basil leaf on each one.
