1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces.
2
Mince Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Combine Topping Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

4
Slice the Baguette
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
6
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and top each slice generously with the tomato mixture.
8
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a platter and serve immediately while still warm.
