Chef's Tips
For a more intense garlic flavor, rub a clove of garlic over the toasted baguette slices before topping with the tomato mixture.
If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free baguette.
