Cut the baguette into diagonal slices that are 1 inch thick (about 2.5 cm).

Thinly slice the tomato into half moon shapes.

Roughly chop a small handful of fresh parsley.

Once the olive oil is hot (but not smoking), add the slices of baguette in a single layer, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Fry the bread for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer the fried bread to a plate lined with paper towels after frying each batch.

On a serving plate, add a couple of slices of fried bread and top each with a slice of tomato.

Open a jar of canned anchovies and add 2 anchovies over each slice of bread.

Top each slice with a kiss of chopped parsley and pierce with a toothpick to hold everything together.
