Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, red onion, basil, ¼ cup olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil, flipping slices and rubbing them around a bit to get oil on both sides. Broil until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, then flip and broil for another minute or 2, until golden brown. You may need to do this in 2 batches if using a large baguette.
- While the bread is still warm, rub the cut side of a garlic clove all over one side of each piece of baguette.
- Transfer toasted baguette slices to a serving platter and top each with a few spoonfuls of the tomato mixture.

Notes
- If making the tomato mixture in advance, cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator. Take out at least 10 minutes before serving.
- The crostini can be toasted and rubbed with garlic ahead of time. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- Leftover crostini may need to sit for a few minutes with the tomato mixture on top in order to soften up enough to enjoy.
- The tomato mixture is also great on top of your favorite meat or fish.
