To prepare the toasted baguette: I prefer to just toast them on the stove in a large pan. Cook on med-high. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil onto pan and place baguette pieces there. Toast until bread becomes golden brown; flip and toast both sides until crunchy.
Chop up your olives
In a medium bowl, mix the olives, olive oil and garlic
Assemble: Spread each slice of toasted baguette with 2 teaspoons of the goat cheese, top with 1 tablespoon of the olive mixture, splash some balsamic vinegar over each one and top with the torn basil.
Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve!
