1
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil.
3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.

4
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Add Basil and Garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.
6
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently until well combined.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
8
Serve Immediately
Spoon the tomato topping generously over each slice of grilled bread. Serve immediately while the bread is warm.
