Ingredients

  • 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch thick circles

  • 8 plum tomatoes, diced

  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil

  • ½ red onion, minced

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 cloves garlic

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

  3. Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted, approximately 5 minutes.

  4. Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Let bread cool 3 to 5 minutes. Rub garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice, and serve.
