Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Chop the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves and mix them in as well. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste, and gently combine everything. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
