1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Brush both sides of the sliced bread with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
While the bread is grilling, dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
4
Add Seasoning
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle in the balsamic vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto each slice of grilled bread.
6
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while the bread is still warm.
