1
Prep the Tomatoes
Chop the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a bowl.
2
Add Seasoning
Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and add them as well. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3
Prepare the Baguette
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
4
Grill the Bread
Brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice.
6
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
