Author Notes: This dish is incredibly addicting. I do not say this lightly. I have had guests fall in love over it; wrongfully convicted people celebrate their freedom over it; and I've been the subject of mass mailings to demand the recipe. It is simple, but absolutely delicious. Serve it on toasted baguette rounds and stand back! - tulueats

Serves 6-10

3 pints of ripe cherry tomatoes
3 small logs of goat cheese, crumbled
1 bunch fresh basil, julienned
4 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 large clove of garlic, pressed
1/8 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste
1 baguette, sliced into rounds and toasted

Slice each cherry tomato into quarters and put into a bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pressed garlic, salt and pepper. Add basil.
Pour vinaigrette over tomatoes and fold in goat cheese.
Serve with toasted baguette rounds
