Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh basil leaves. Add the minced garlic and chopped basil to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper, then gently toss to combine all ingredients. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

    Place the baguette slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

Assemble the Bruschetta

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.
