Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller bits and add them to the bowl with the fresh tomatoes.
Finely chop the basil leaves and garlic cloves and stir them into the tomato mixture.
Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well to combine. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice the French baguette into half-inch thick pieces and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted baguette, distributing it evenly among the pieces.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bruschetta for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Double Tomato Bruschetta!
