Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and toast them for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Rub the open side of a cut garlic clove on each toasted slice for a gentle garlic flavor.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. Gently fold in the soft white cheese into the tomato mixture while keeping the cheese slightly chunky.
  6. Arrange the toasted baguette slices in a circular pattern on a large platter to resemble a festive wreath.
  7. Spoon generous dollops of the tomato and cheese mixture onto each baguette slice.
  8. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and grated Parmesan (if using) and serve immediately.
