1
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil and Garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Season the Mixture
Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix everything gently until well combined.
4
Let it Marinate
Allow the tomato mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5
Slice the Bread
Cut the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices.
6
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy.

7
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice.
8
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and enjoy your delicious bruschetta!
