Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Set rack on the top position in the oven.
- Step 2
Prepare the Tomato + Basil Topping - Thoroughly wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut each tomato in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from the inside. Dice the tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and thinly sliced fresh basil. Mix well to combine and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Step 3
Toast the baguette slices - Slice the baguette approximately half-inch thick and on the diagonal. (optional- rub with a garlic clove and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt). Use a pastry brush to brush the baguette slices with a thin layer of olive oil. Transfer to a large baking sheet in a single layer and toast (or grill!) for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- Step 4
Serve - Transfer the toasted bread to a large serving plate and, just before serving, top with each with the prepared tomato + basil mixture. Enjoy!
