In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat and add the sliced garlic. Cook until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and drizzle with the garlic oil. Top each slice with the tomato mixture.

Serve immediately while the bread is warm and enjoy!
