1
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh 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
Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything gently to combine the flavors. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

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

6
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill. Spoon the tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.
7
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is warm and crispy.
