1
Chop Tomatoes
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
3
Mince Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, then add them to the tomato and basil mixture.
4
Season the Mixture
Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, add salt and black pepper to taste, and stir gently to combine.

5
Slice the Bread
Cut the baguette or ciabatta into 1/2-inch thick slices.
6
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they're golden brown and have grill marks.

7
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato, basil, and garlic mixture generously onto each slice of bread.
8
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh.
