- 0.5 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for the glaze)

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey or maple syrup (if using). Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces by half, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden and crisp. If desired, lightly rub the surface of each toast with a fresh garlic clove for extra flavor.
Step 3
Thinly slice the tomato into even rounds and set aside.
Step 4
Drizzle the toasted bread with olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface with the back of a spoon or a pastry brush.
Step 5
Layer the tomato slices on top of each toast, slightly overlapping them for full coverage.
Step 6
Season the tomato slices with a pinch of ground black pepper to enhance their flavor.
Step 7
Top the tomato slices with fresh basil leaves, arranging them to create a vibrant presentation.
Step 8
Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the assembled toasts in a zigzag pattern.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Tomato Toast with Basil and Balsamic Glaze!
