A delightful and easy-to-make snack or light meal featuring fresh basil, juicy tomatoes, and a creamy topping.
Combine the basil leaves, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Pulse the mixture in short bursts to avoid over-processing and maintain a slightly textured consistency.
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the basil mixture and blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Preheat the broiler on your oven. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
Use a serrated knife to slice the baguette evenly for consistent toasting.
Broil the baguette slices for 1-2 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted.
Keep an eye on the bread while broiling to prevent burning.
Spread the basil mixture generously over each toasted baguette slice.
Use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over the bread.
Top each slice with thinly sliced tomatoes. Return to the broiler for another 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
Arrange the tomato slices neatly for an appealing presentation.
Serve the toasts warm and enjoy as a snack or appetizer.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra parmesan or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
