Ingredients

  1. 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  3. 4 large tomatoes, finely chopped
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 1/4 c. thinly sliced fresh basil
  6. 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  7. Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  8. 1 large baguette, sliced 1/4" thick on the bias
  9. Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  10. 2 garlic cloves, halved

Instructions

  1. Tomatoes

    In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, set a large strainer or colander over a bowl. Add tomatoes and toss with 1/2 tsp. salt. Let sit 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer tomatoes to a large bowl. Add basil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp. salt and toss to combine. Add garlic and oil from skillet and toss again to combine. Let marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.

  4. Bread & Assembly

    Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Brush bread on both sides with oil and arrange on large baking sheet.
  5. Toast bread, turning halfway through, until dried and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then rub one side of bread with halved garlic cloves.
  6. Arrange bread on a platter. Spoon tomatoes on garlic-rubbed side of bread just before serving.
