Instructions:

- If desired, you can remove the seeds for a less watery topping.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus on each toasted baguette slice.
- Top with the diced tomatoes.

Tips:
- Choose a freshly baked baguette for the best texture and flavor.
- For added flavor, you can brush the baguette slices with a bit of olive oil before toasting them.
- Fresh, ripe tomatoes will make a significant difference in taste, so select the best you can find.
- If you prefer a little extra zing, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the finished crostini.
