1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
3
Mix in Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
Add the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the tomato-basil mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
4
Season the Mixture
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir again to combine.

5
Slice the Bread
Cut the baguette or Italian bread into 1-inch thick slices.
6
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon a generous amount of the tomato-basil mixture on each slice of grilled bread, ensuring it is well-covered.
8
Add Mozzarella
Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and sprinkle over the topped bruschetta.
