Personal Notes:
Choose a thin baguette about 2-3 inches in diameter. Add a crushed clove of garlic to the oil before brushing the bread for extra flavor. This can be made up to 2 weeks in advance.

Make topping up to 1 day in advance, but add the salt and pepper just before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Top baguette up to 45 minutes before serving. Basil is the best but you may want to try arugula in place for a deep, peppery bite. Stir in a handful of sliced arugula just before serving. Reserve some smaller leaves for the garnish.
