Instructions

1. Core and dice the tomatoes, drain off excess juice, and put them in a medium bowl.
2. Stack the basil leaves, roll them into a tube and thinly slice into ribbons. Add to the tomatoes.
3. Finely mince 5 garlic cloves. Mix 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic into 3 tablespoons olive oil and set aside. Add the rest of the garlic to the tomatoes.
4. Season the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently and let marinate for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the center. Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Brush both sides of the toasts with the garlic oil and sprinkle the tops with parmesan. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then broil on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
7. Arrange the toasts on a platter and spoon the tomato mixture over them. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
