1
Prepare the Toppings
Wash and dice the fresh Roma tomatoes into small cubes. Place them in a bowl.
2
Chop the Onion
Peel the red onion and finely chop it. Add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
3
Add Basil and EVOO
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the tomato and onion mixture. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and gently toss all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1-inch thick slices.
5
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

6
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Top each slice of grilled bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture. Drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil if desired.
7
Serve
Arrange the assembled bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
