Method

Preparation of Topping

  1. 1

    Chop the Tomatoes

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

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Add Basil and Seasonings

    Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add to the bowl. Then, add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Preparation of Bread

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the baguette into 1-inch thick slices on a diagonal.

  3. 6

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Using a brush or your hands, lightly coat one side of each slice with olive oil.

  4. 7

    Grill the Bread

    Place the slices of baguette on the grill, olive oil side down. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is toasted and has grill marks. Flip and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the grilled side of each slice.
