1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on both sides. Grill the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the bread is grilling, dice the tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.
4
Combine the Topping
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of grilled bread. Serve immediately.
