1
Prepare the Topping
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.
2
Add Seasoning
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

3
Slice the Baguette
Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.
4
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
5
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

6
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and immediately top each slice with the tomato mixture.
7
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm.
