Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should end up with approximately 16 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the baguette slices are toasting, mince the garlic. Once the baguette slices are out of the oven, gently rub one side of each slice with the minced garlic for added flavor.
Dice the peaches and roasted red peppers into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the basil leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, roasted red peppers, chopped basil, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
Spread a thin layer of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the peach and roasted red pepper mixture.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze on top of each bruschetta for a touch of sweetness.
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and garnish with additional basil leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
