    Slice the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Lay the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Brush each slice generously with olive oil on both sides.

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

    While the bread is toasting, wash and dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
