Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. You should have about 12-16 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Once the bread is toasted and slightly cooled, rub each slice with the garlic for added flavor.
Layer slices of vegan prosciutto over each piece of baguette.
Top each with a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture.
Serve immediately, drizzling a little more balsamic glaze over the top if desired.
