Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 4 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F, brush the bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toast for 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, remaining olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Let the tomato mixture sit for 5 minutes so the flavors mingle.
  4. Spoon the topping onto each toast just before serving so they stay crisp.

Notes

Drain off some of the tomato liquid to keep the toasts from going soft.
