1
Chop Tomatoes
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Chop Basil
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with tomatoes.
3
Prepare Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
4
Mix Topping
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir gently to combine. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5
Slice Bread
Cut the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
6
Grill Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sliced bread on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7
Top Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over each slice.
8
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm. Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top before serving.
