1
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal to create more surface area.
2
Grill the Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil and grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

3
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Prepare the Basil
Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
5
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, then add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and basil.
6
Mix the Topping
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture, add salt and black pepper to taste, and gently toss everything together until well combined.

7
Top the Bread
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each grilled baguette slice.
8
Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze
Finish by drizzling balsamic glaze over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.
