Chop Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Add Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

Season Mixture
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, add salt and black pepper, and stir everything together until well combined.

Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Once grilled, lightly brush or drizzle the hot bread with olive oil for extra flavor.
