Brush both sides of baguette slices with olive oil and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until bread is golden, about 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Core and dice the tomatoes. Remove any excess seeds. (You can do this with a spoon if there aren't too many or use a colander.) Then add chopped tomatoes to a bowl with basil, oregano, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and add more balsamic, salt, or pepper as desired.
Spoon tomato mixture over toasted baguette slices and serve immediately.
