Tomato Tartine - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 3/4-inch-thick slices baguette, cut on a bias
    2 cloves garlic, halved
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2/3 cup quartered grape tomatoes
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
    1 clove garlic, minced
    4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    1/4 cup goat cheese
    1/4 cup garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin(R))
    1/4 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Rub 1 side of each baguette slice with the cut-side of halved garlic and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange baguettes slices, oil-side up, on a baking sheet.
    Place baking sheet on the middle rack of preheated oven and bake until baguette slices are golden, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, leaving oven on.
    Toss tomatoes, basil, and minced garlic together with 4 teaspoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated.
    Mix goat cheese, garlic and herb cheese spread, and ricotta cheese together in a separate bowl. Spread cheese mixture onto cooled baguette slices; top with tomato mixture.
    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
