1
Chop the Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems. Dice them into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Prepare the Basil
Wash the fresh basil leaves thoroughly. Tear or chop them into smaller pieces and add to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Add Seasoning
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and basil. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix everything together until combined.
4
Slice the Mozzarella
Cut the mozzarella cheese into thin slices and set aside.

5
Prepare the Baguette
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices.
6
Grill the Bread
Place the baguette slices on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have nice grill marks.
7
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread slices from the heat. On each slice, place a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture, followed by a slice of mozzarella cheese.

8
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and serve immediately.
