1
Prepare the Baguette
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Brush both sides of the baguette slices with a little extra virgin olive oil. Grill the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy. Once grilled, remove from heat and set aside.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the bread is grilling, chop the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl of tomatoes.
4
Mix the Topping
Add the fresh mozzarella cheese (cut into small cubes), extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

5
Top the Bread
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato-basil-mozzarella mixture onto each grilled baguette slice.
6
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
