1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a bowl, combine diced fresh tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
2
Toast the Bread
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
3
Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top before serving.
