🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 2 tsp black pepper  
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated  
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped  
- 3/4 cup olive oil  
- 3 cups Roma tomatoes, finely diced  
- 2 tsp kosher salt  
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar  
- 1 baguette, sliced  
- 1 tsp garlic powder  
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes  
- 3 cloves garlic, minced  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine finely diced tomatoes, minced garlic, freshly chopped basil, grated Parmesan, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Give it a good mix and chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.  

2. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.  

3. Slice the baguette into thin, even slices. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining olive oil with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.  

4. Using a brush, coat both sides of the baguette slices with the oil mixture. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through for even toasting. Let them cool on a wire rack.  

5. Once the bread slices are cool, generously spoon the chilled tomato mixture onto each toast. For an added touch, sprinkle with a little extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
