Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12-15 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, dice the heirloom cherry tomatoes into small pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop 6 basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the tomato mixture along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix to combine.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spread a generous spoonful of burrata cheese onto each baguette slice.
Top the burrata with the prepared tomato and basil mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over each bruschetta for added flavor.
Garnish with the remaining whole basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy your Red Carpet Bruschetta!
