Method

Preparing the Topping

  1. 1

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 3

    Slice the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  3. 4

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush one side of each slice of baguette with olive oil.

  4. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Place the slices of bread, oiled side down, on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and grill marks appear. Brush the other side with olive oil and flip to grill for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Assembling the Bruschetta

  1. 6

    Top the Grilled Bread

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

  2. 7

    Drizzle with Balsamic Reduction

    Drizzle balsamic reduction over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.
