- 0.5 cup black olives
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12-15 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the bread slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the olive tomato relish. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the black olives, fresh basil leaves, and red onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, black olives, basil, red onion, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Spread a generous dollop of ricotta cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the olive tomato relish, ensuring even distribution.
