Method

Preparation of the Bread

  1. 1

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices at a diagonal angle.

  2. 2

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Lightly brush both sides of each slice of baguette with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the slices of baguette for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Preparation of the Topping

  1. 4

    Dice Tomatoes

    Chop the Roma tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Add Basil and Cheese

    Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Dice the mozzarella cheese and add it to the mixture.

  3. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Assembling the Bruschetta

  1. 7

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto each slice of bread.

  2. 8

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
