In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and minced chile. Add the 2 tbsp olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15 minutes so the flavors come together.

While the topping rests, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, or set your broiler to high with a rack positioned 4–5 inches from the element. Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with the 3 tbsp olive oil.
