Caprese & Arugula Toast

I will never get sick of caprese combinations and I hope you don't either. I want you to imagine yourself, making this flavorful and nutritious toast, pouring yourself a glass of wine, taking them both outside onto your porch, and enjoying them while watching the leaves on the trees gently rustling in the wind. This toast is SUCH a vibe and I need everyone to make it for themselves. It took me an exact 7 minutes to make this only because I had to wait for the sourdough to toast. So easy, so nourishing, so GOOD. You're going to need mozzarella, tomato, arugula, sourdough, basil, garlic, balsamic glaze, and olive oil. So, if I've persuaded you enough, let's get to the recipe.
