Method

Prepare the bread

  1. 1

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create more surface area for toasting.

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Grill the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.

    Dice the Tomatoes

    Remove the stems from the tomatoes, chop them into small dice, and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Chop the Basil

    Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

  3. 5

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the tomato and basil mixture.

  4. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture, season with salt and black pepper, and gently toss everything together until well combined.

    Top the Bread

    Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each grilled slice of bread.
