Ingredients
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 5 medium roma tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp but the center is still slightly tender.
- While the bread toasts, add the diced tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and olive oil to a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto each piece of toast. If desired, drizzle a little more olive oil and some balsamic vinegar over the top.
- Serve immediately.
