Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the baguette into 0.5-inch-thick rounds on the bias. Arrange on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Broil 4 inches from the heat until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per side.

  3. Step 3

    While bread toasts, dice the tomatoes into 0.5-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and basil.

  4. Step 4

    Toss the tomatoes with garlic, basil, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted bread slice, letting juices soak in slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while bread is still warm and crispy.
