Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds, yielding approximately 16 slices.
Step 3
Arrange the baguette slices on a large baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 4
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

While the baguette slices are toasting, prepare the tomato topping by halving the cherry tomatoes and placing them in a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Finely chop the basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 7
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato mixture along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Once the baguette slices are toasted, let them cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each slice.
Step 9
Top each goat cheese-covered toast with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Step 10
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta just before serving.
