1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash and dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Garlic and Basil
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the mixture.
3
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything gently to combine.
4
Marinate
Let the tomato mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into diagonal slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush one side of each slice generously with olive oil.
7
Grill the Bread
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the oiled side of the bread on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

8
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and place on a serving platter. Spoon the marinated tomato mixture generously over the grilled side of each slice.
9
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm. Optionally, drizzle with extra olive oil before serving.
