Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the tomatoes

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

    Add garlic and basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh basil leaves. Add both to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

    Season the mixture

    Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Let it marinate

    Allow the tomato mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and spoon the marinated tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.
