Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the bread

    Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Prepare the topping

    Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl. Chiffonade the basil leaves (stack, roll, and slice) and add to the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Mix gently to combine.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the bread

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the bruschetta

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture. Drizzle with additional balsamic reduction if desired and serve immediately.
