Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate.
• Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high, (if you prefer you can also grill the bread). Place bread slices on a broiler pan. Char bread on each side under hot broiler, keep an eye on it! Rub toasts with cracked garlic and drizzle with oil. Chop seeded tomatoes and place in a small bowl. Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Thinly slice basil into green confetti and loosely combine with tomatoes. Add a drizzle of oil and a little coarse salt to the bowl and gently toss tomatoes and basil to coat. Pile toasts around the bowl of topping. Place a spoon to scoop topping in bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Let bread cool 3 to 5 minutes. Rub garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix again. Cover and chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together.
• Slice the baguette loaf diagonally into 12 thick slices and lightly toast them until they are light brown on both sides. Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper, and stir until evenly incorporated.
• Serve on toasted baguette.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat broiler.
• Place bread slices in single layer on baking sheet. Broil 2 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides.
• Mix dressing and cheese until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing mixture; brush remaining dressing mixture onto toast slices.
• Combine tomatoes, onions and reserved dressing mixture; spoon onto toast slices just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, olive oil, oregano, basil and parsley. Place bread on a baking sheet and top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom of bread has browned.
• Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush 1/4 cup olive oil over bread, and spread on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
• In a large saute pan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, and thyme; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes start to dry and mixture is caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Spread a heaping teaspoon of ricotta over each toast slice; top with a teaspoon of tomato mixture. Garnish with thyme, and serve.
