Let’s make something fresh and fabulous! Dice up those tomatoes—get ‘em nice and small so they pile up perfectly. Toss ‘em in a bowl with the minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir it up—doesn’t it look like summer already?
Let the tomato mix sit for 10 minutes if you’ve got the time—lets all those flavors mingle and get extra tasty. Give it a quick taste—adjust the salt or pepper if it’s begging for more!
While that’s happening, preheat your broiler or grill pan—high heat’s the game! Slice the baguette and brush each piece with a little olive oil—makes ‘em golden and crispy.
Toast the bread for 2-3 minutes per side—watch ‘em close so they don’t go from golden to charcoal! You want that perfect crunch—oh, the smell of toasty bread is everything!
Take that whole garlic clove and rub it gently over one side of each warm toast—adds this subtle, garlicky magic. It’s a little trick that makes a big difference!
Spoon the tomato mix generously over the garlicky side of the toast—pile it high and let the juices drip a little; it’s all part of the fun! Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you’ve got it—looks so pretty!
Serve it up right away—fresh, vibrant, and ready to share. Perfect for a snack, a party, or just because you deserve it. Grab one and crunch away—this is simple, summery joy on bread!
