Preheat oven on broil setting.
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for one hour.
Cut baguette into 3/4" slices. Brush olive oil on both sides of slice and place on a cooling rack that is set on cookie sheet (this allows the bottom of the slice to crisp). Arrange slices in a single layer, then broil 1-2 minutes until slightly brown. Remove from oven.
Add basil to the tomato mixture and divide evenly over the baguette slices. Top the slices with cheese.
Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
