1
Prepare the topping
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces and add it to the tomato and basil mixture.
2
Season the mixture
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper. Gently mix all the ingredients together and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3
Prepare the baguette
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
4
Grill the bread
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil. Grill the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5
Top the bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and enjoy your delicious bruschetta!
