1
Slice the Bread
Using a sharp knife, slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sliced bread on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.

3
Prepare Tomatoes
Wash and dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Add Basil and Garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with tomatoes.
5
Season the Mixture
Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled and slightly cooled, spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice.
7
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
