Dice the ripe tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Prepare the Basil
Chop fresh basil leaves coarsely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Add Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixing bowl.
4
Season the Mixture
Add salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar to the tomato mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Brush with Olive Oil

Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and place it on a serving platter.

Add the Tomato Mixture
Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice of grilled bread.
