Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the bread

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Brush with olive oil

    Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the bread

    Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Topping preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the tomatoes

    Wash the fresh tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces.

  2. 5

    Chop the basil and garlic

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 6

    Mix the topping

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Top the grilled bread

    Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is still warm, drizzled with additional balsamic glaze if desired.
