Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Brush the sliced baguette with olive oil on both sides. Place slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them as well.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Drizzle with a little olive oil (1 tablespoon), and gently mix until combined.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spoon the tomato topping generously onto each slice of grilled bread. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh.
