Brush each slice with olive oil (use about 2 tablespoons for this step).
Step 4
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

While the bread is toasting, finely mince the garlic and set aside.

Chop or tear the basil leaves into small pieces if desired, and add them to the tomato-mozzarella mixture.
Step 9
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Once the baguette slices are out of the oven, rub the top of each slice with the minced garlic for added flavor.
