Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the topping

    Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Add seasoning

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then mix everything well. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly. Top each slice with the tomato mixture, ensuring each piece is generously covered.
