  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil

  • 3 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced fennel
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 400 F. Toast baguette slices until lightly browned. Mix all other ingredients together. Spoon mixture evenly over toasted bread. Serve immediately.
