1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Toast the Bread
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place 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 the tomato mixture. Optionally, drizzle with more olive oil before serving.
