Bruschetta Preparation

Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
