1
Slice the Bread
Cut the baguette or ciabatta into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Brush with Olive Oil
Lightly brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

4
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Add Basil and Garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
6
Season the Mixture
Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice.
8
Serve Immediately
Serve the bruschetta immediately as an appetizer or snack while the bread is still warm.
