1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Flavors
Finely chop the fresh basil and mince the garlic. Add both to the bowl with tomatoes.
3
Season the Mixture
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
4
Marinate
Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch slices on a diagonal for more surface area.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil to ensure they grill nicely.
7
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

8
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and place on a serving platter. Spoon the marinated tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.
9
Serve
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
