1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Flavor
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and add them as well.
3
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture, then add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

4
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or ciabatta into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh. Enjoy your bruschetta!
