1
Slice the Baguette
Using a sharp knife, slice the baguette into ½ inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with a little olive oil. Place the slices on the grill, oiled side down, and grill for 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden. Flip and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3
Prepare the Tomatoes
Chop the ripe tomatoes into small dice and place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Add Basil and Seasoning
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until combined.
5
Prepare the Mozzarella
Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin rounds or small cubes, depending on your preference.

6
Top the Grilled Bread
Once the bread is grilled and slightly cooled, top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
7
Add Mozzarella
Place a slice or cube of mozzarella cheese on top of each bruschetta. You can drizzle a little more olive oil on top if desired.

8
Serve Immediately
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
