1
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sliced baguette on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
4
Add Seasoning
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato and basil mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then gently toss everything together until well combined.
5
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Rub the cut sides of the garlic on one side of each grilled bread slice for a subtle garlic flavor.
6
Assemble the Bruschetta
Top each slice of grilled bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture.
7
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while the bread is still warm.
