Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor to the Tomatoes

    Mince the garlic and add it to the diced tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil and mix it in as well.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle olive oil over the tomato mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Gently toss everything together.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush one side of each slice of baguette with olive oil. Place the oiled side down on the grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 6

    Flip and Toast

    Once the first side is toasted, flip the bread slices and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Assembly

    Top the Bread

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.
