1
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil and Garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the tomato mixture and gently toss everything together until well combined.
4
Add Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the tomato mixture and give it another gentle toss. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Using a brush, lightly coat one side of each slice with olive oil.
7
Grill the Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices, oiled side down, on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until toasted and grill marks appear.
8
Flip and Grill Again
Brush the ungrilled side with olive oil, flip the slices, and grill for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

9
Top the Grilled Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the grilled side of each slice.
10
Serve Immediately
Drizzle a little extra balsamic glaze over the topped bruschetta if desired. Serve immediately while the bread is warm and crispy.
