Turn on your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil. Place the sliced baguette pieces on the sheet.
2
Brush the baguette slices with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with half of the minced garlic.
3
Toast the bread for a minute or two, until golden. Remove from the oven, flip the bread over, and repeat the process.
4
In a small skillet, heat up 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the remaining minced garlic and stir briefly before removing from heat to prevent burning. Transfer the garlic-infused oil to a large bowl to let it cool.
5
Dice the tomatoes and drain excess juice. Add the drained tomatoes, onion, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl with cooled garlic-infused oil, and mix gently to combine.
6
Top the toasted baguette slices with the tomato mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
