Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush baguette slices with olive oil and toast 6–8 minutes until crisp. Rub with the cut garlic clove while warm.
Combine tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper. Rest 10 minutes.
Spoon tomato mixture onto toasts just before serving so the bread stays crisp.
Finish with extra basil and a drizzle of oil.
Notes
Dice tomatoes small for easier bites.
Tomato topping keeps 1 day refrigerated; toast bread fresh.
