Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the baguette along a diagonal into 1/4 inch slices using a serrated knife. Do not slice them thicker than 1/4 inch, or they will be difficult to bite through when toasted.
Place the slices on a cookie sheet. Brush the tops of the bread pieces with olive oil.
Place the bread into the oven and let it toast for 8-10 minutes till the bottoms of the bread slices are golden brown and toasted. Flip the slices to check for doneness-- they will brown more on the bottom than they will on the top.
In a mixing bowl combine tuna, 2 tbsp chopped basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
To assemble - first stop each crostini with 1 1/2 tsp of hummus, then add 1/2 tsp of pesto.
Top with 1/2 tbsp of the tuna salad.
Garnish with chiffonade basil, if desired.
