1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and add to the mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
2
Prepare the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush each side with olive oil.
3
Grill the Bread
Place the 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.
4
Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the grilled bread from the grill. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
