Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, creating about 12 pieces.
Lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast the baguette slices for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and dice into small chunks.
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes and avocado. Add salt and black pepper to taste, and gently toss to mix.
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the tomato and avocado mixture.
Garnish with a fresh basil leaf on top of each crostini.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the finished crostini for a burst of tangy sweetness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato and Avocado Goat Cheese Crostini!
