Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Tomato Topping

Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the tomatoes. Mix well and set aside.

2

Chop the Basil

Wash the fresh basil leaves thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel, then chop them finely. Add to the tomato mixture and stir gently to combine.

3

Mince the Garlic

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the tomato and basil mixture, ensuring even distribution.

Cooking

4

Prepare the Bread

Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil.

5

Grill the Bread

Preheat your 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 have grill marks.

Assembly

6

Top the Bread

Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over each slice of grilled bread.

7

Serve

Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
