Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 3

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, thinly sliced basil, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

  4. 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. 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. 6

    Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
