Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Brush both sides of each bread slice with 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp.
Step 3
While the bread toasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Tear the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Chiffonade the basil leaves and add to the bowl. Mince the garlic clove and add it along with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
Step 5
Rub the toasted bread slices with the cut side of the garlic clove for extra flavor (optional).
Step 6
Spoon the tomato-mozzarella mixture generously over each toast. Serve immediately, drizzled with a little extra olive oil if desired.
