Brush each side with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and toast each side of the bread until golden brown.
Remove the stems from the strawberries and then cut each into quarters.
Mix ¼ cup of the extra virgin olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss the strawberries in the dressing.
Spoon the strawberries over the toasted bread. Thinly slice the basil leaves and scatter on top. Season the tops of the toasts with salt and pepper to taste.
