4-5 medium size tomatoes, a variety of colors like orange, red, yellow are more fun and make a lovely presentation
4-5 kale leaves (about 2 cups loosely packed)
About 4 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
pinch of salt

Directions

Make the crostini:
Preheat oven to 375oF.
At a slight angle and on the bias, slice a baguette into half inch slices.
Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides.
Layout on sheet pan and bake in oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the baguette have a crouton consistency with a nice golden brown crunch.

For the topping:
Dice tomatoes.
Chop kale leaves.
Mix the kale with the tomatoes.
