Bruschetta Preparation

Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes. Mince the garlic and add it to the mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush each slice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on both sides. Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.
