Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, Parmesan cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic powder.
Brush both sides of the bread slices with the olive oil mixture. Arrange them on the baking sheet and bake for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and crispy.
Once the bread has cooled slightly, spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of toast. Optionally, sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
