Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler. Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Toast the bread under the broiler until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 3
While the bread toasts, finely chop the anchovy fillets, garlic, tomato, and parsley together until they form a coarse paste.
Step 4
Transfer the chopped mixture to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining garlic clove (cut in half) for extra flavor.
Step 6
Spoon the anchovy mixture generously onto each slice of toast, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and serve immediately while the bread is still crisp.
