1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash and dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Make the Dressing
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them with the diced tomatoes and basil. Add the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the sliced bread on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice.
7
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
