Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the baguette into thin slices, about 1/2 inch thick.

- Toast the baguette slices for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

- Once the baguette slices have cooled a bit, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic. This will infuse the bread with a subtle garlic flavor.
- Wash the tomatoes and dice them into small pieces.
- 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.
- Wash the basil leaves and finely chop them.
- Sprinkle the chopped basil over the tomato-topped crostini.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the crostini for added flavor, if desired.
- Transfer the assembled crostini to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tomato & Hummus Crostini!
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.
