Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay the prosciutto on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Bake until darkened and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool fully, and then break up the prosciutto into pieces. Set aside.
- Heat 2 ounces (1/8 cup) olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add half of the bread and let cook until the underside begins to brown, about 3 minutes, then flip the bread and finish the other side, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and rub both sides with a garlic clove to perfume the toast. Wipe out the pan and repeat again with the remaining oil and bread.
- Place the chopped tomatoes in a medium bowl. Grate the remaining clove garlic on a fine grater into the tomatoes. Add the basil, olives and half the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the bread on a serving platter. Top the toasted garlic bread with the tomato mixture, then top with the crispy prosciutto pieces. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA
This classic recipe is for lazy summer days that beg for moving slowly and snacking often. Chop tomatoes, place them in a colander, shower them with salt, then make yourself a drink or go for a swim. The longer they drain, the better they'll be. This bruschetta gets better as it sits for a bit, so make it up to an hour ahead. While most bruschetta recipes have you rub a raw garlic clove on toasted bread, this one calls for making a quick infused oil that's stirred into the tomatoes and basil, providing a more delicate garlicky note. Pile it all on toasted bread, and enjoy bite after juicy bite.

- Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.

- When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.

Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your bruschetta. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to your bruschetta. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the bruschetta: When assembling your bruschetta, don't pile on too many toppings. You want each bite to have a good balance of flavors and textures.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat it. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can prepare the tomatoes and herbs in advance and then assemble the bruschetta just before serving.
