1
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Prepare the Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves coarsely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, then add them to the tomato and basil mixture.
4
Season the Mixture
Add salt and black pepper to the bowl and gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.

5
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1-inch thick slices on a diagonal to increase the surface area.
7
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil on both sides.
8
Grill the Bread
Place the oiled 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.

9
Top the Grilled Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously on top of each slice of bread.
