Instructions
- Cut the baguette on a bias to create ½” thick slices.
- Next, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil with 3 garlic cloves in a large 10” non-stick skillet over low to medium heat for about 2 minutes.
- Add in the slices of bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown on each side. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread. You will need to add 3 more tablespoons of oil and 3 new garlic cloves. Season the bread with salt and pepper, remove them, and set them to the side.
- Medium dice the tomatoes and add them to a medium-sized bowl.
- Add in the fresh chopped basil.
- Sprinkle in the oregano.
- Season with salt and pour in the olive oil.
- Mix the ingredients together until combined. Be sure to taste it and see if the seasonings need to be adjusted.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the tomato relish onto each toasted baguette slice. Repeat the process until all the tomatoes and toast have been used. Serve on a plate or platter.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can precut the tomatoes and slice the bread 1 day ahead of time. It’s best to serve this when it’s all finished.
- How to Store: Cover and keep the tomatoes in the refrigerator for 3 days. The salt will begin to break down the tomatoes, and you will lose a lot of that crispness after 3 days. You can keep the toasted baguette slices covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Neither of these things will freeze well.
- You can use dry basil for fresh basil, although the final product will have slightly different flavors.
- Fresh oregano isn’t used as it can be too overpowering.
