Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on one side.

Step 4

Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Mince 2 garlic cloves and add to the tomatoes.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and mix them into the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Top each baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.

Step 11

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bruschetta.

Serve immediately and enjoy your Party Bruschetta with friends and family!
