Wash and dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.

Add Garlic and Basil
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them as well.

Mix in Olive Oil and Vinegar
Pour the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
4
Let it Marinate
Let the tomato mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

7
Grill the Bread
Place the bread slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Top the Grilled Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and top each slice generously with the marinated tomato mixture.
