1
Prepare the Bread
Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Toast the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Grill the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

3
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Chop the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and add to the tomatoes.
4
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Dice the mozzarella cheese into small cubes and add to the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

5
Top the Bread
Place the grilled bread slices on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture generously over each slice.
6
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
