Ingredients

• 1 loaf gluten-free baguette
• 4 medium ripe tomatoes
• 12 pieces fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the gluten-free baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12 slices.

Step 3

Place the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Turn the slices over to ensure both sides are slightly coated, then place them in the oven. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4

While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop the basil leaves finely and add them to the tomatoes.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture.

Step 7

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the tomatoes are evenly coated.

Step 8

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Top each toasted slice of bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture.

Step 10

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
