1
Slice the Baguette
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Brush with Olive Oil
Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each slice generously with olive oil.
3
Toast the Bread
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

4
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
5
Add Cheeses
Fold in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese into the tomato mixture until evenly distributed.

6
Top the Bread
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. Spoon the tomato and cheese mixture generously onto the toasted side of each slice.
7
Final Toast
Return the topped baguette slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Ready to Serve
Remove the bruschetta from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
