Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Make sure the oven rack is about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Place the slices of baguette on a baking sheet. Using a brush, lightly coat each slice with olive oil. This will help them toast nicely.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
- While the bread is toasting, combine the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir gently to mix.
- Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly to avoid burning your fingers.
- Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Be generous with the topping for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately while the bread is still warm. Consider garnishing with a small basil leaf on top of each slice for a professional touch.
