1
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2
Grill the Bread
Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil on both sides. Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.
4
Flavor the Tomato Mixture
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add salt, and black pepper to taste. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each piece of grilled bread. Drizzle with balsamic reduction over the top.
6
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
