Method

Preparation of the Topping

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    In a medium bowl, combine the chopped fresh tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil leaves.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Let it Marinate

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 4

    Slice the Baguette

    Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Top the Bread

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh.
