Grilled bread topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic.

In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Topping

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides.

Prepare the Bread

Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and have grill marks.

Grill the Bread

Remove the grilled bread from the heat and top each slice generously with the tomato mixture.

Assemble the Bruschetta
