Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Step 2
Lightly brush each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Broil the bread slices for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 6
Lay two slices of prosciutto evenly across each piece of toasted bread.
Step 7
Top the prosciutto with the sliced tomatoes, overlapping slightly if needed.
Step 8
Sprinkle the tomato slices with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Step 10
Drizzle an additional small amount of olive oil over the top, if desired.
Step 11
Serve the open-faced sandwiches immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
