Method
- 1.
Toast the bread — Brush the baguette slices with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toast in the oven at 200°C for 8 minutes until golden and crisp.
- 2.
Rub with garlic — While the bread toasts, halve one garlic clove and rub it over the warm slices for a subtle garlic flavor, then mince the remaining garlic.
- 3.
Make the tomato topping — In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, minced garlic, remaining olive oil, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 4.
Top and serve — Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bread just before serving so it stays crisp.
