1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the ripe tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces, and chop the basil leaves roughly. Mince the garlic cloves.

2
Combine Topping Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Place the slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

4
Top the Bread with Topping
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over each slice of grilled bread. Serve immediately.
