Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 pint grape tomatoes. Heat over medium high heat until skins begin to break down. Add a 1/4 freshly chopped basil and salt if desired. Remove from heat.

Slice baguette on a bias and place on a wire rack. Transfer wire rack to oven and toast until no longer soft but not brown - 5-10 minutes.

Remove crostini from oven and add cheese. Return to oven to warm cheese through without melting it all over the place.

Take crostini from oven and top with warm grape tomato sauce and freshly minced basil.

Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil and light dusting of flaky salt.
