Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Tomatoes

    Wash the ripe tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and minced garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything gently until combined.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Place the sliced baguette on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and has grill marks.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Top the Bread

    Remove the grilled bread from the heat. Spoon the tomato-basil mixture generously on top of each slice.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is still warm. Optionally, drizzle with more olive oil before serving.
