Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly toasted and golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

2
While the bread is warm, take the whole peeled garlic clove and gently rub it over the surface of each toasted baguette slice to impart a subtle garlic flavor.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, thinly sliced basil, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
4
Add the salt and black pepper, and gently toss the mixture to combine. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5
Right before serving, use a slotted spoon to scoop the tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted baguette (leaving excess liquid behind so the bread doesn't get soggy).
6
Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
