A delightful appetizer featuring a fresh tomato and basil topping served on crispy crostini.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes while dicing.
Mince the fresh garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Crush the garlic slightly before mincing to release its full flavor.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and mix them into the tomato mixture.
Roll the basil leaves together before chopping for easier handling.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the tomato mixture.
Mix gently to coat the tomatoes evenly without mashing them.
Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Slice the crusty baguette into thin slices and toast them on a baking sheet until golden brown.
Brush the slices with olive oil before toasting for extra flavor.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted baguette slices and serve immediately.
Serve the crostini immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the bread.
