1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
2
Toast the Bread
Brush the bread slices with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the bread is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and basil leaves, then add them to the tomatoes.
4
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until combined.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
