1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the French baguette into ½ inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil.
2
Grill the Bread
Place the oiled bread slices on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

3
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Add Basil and Seasonings
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl of diced tomatoes. Season with salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Toss everything together gently.
5
Prepare the Mozzarella
Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Add the mozzarella to the tomato and basil mixture and gently combine.

6
Top the Bread
Spoon the tomato, basil, and mozzarella mixture onto each grilled bread slice, making sure to distribute it evenly.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
