Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12-14 pieces.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the bread in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
While the bread is toasting, finely dice the tomatoes and red onion, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Chiffonade the basil leaves (roll them up and slice them thinly), and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the Dijon mustard mixture over the tomato mixture, and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Lightly rub the toasted bread slices with the cut side of a garlic clove for a hint of garlic flavor.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread slices, dividing it evenly among them.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. Enjoy the zesty, tangy flavors!
