Preparation

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.

    Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

    Chop the Tomatoes

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Add Basil and Seasoning

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Mince the garlic and add it to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Mix with Olive Oil

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomato mixture and gently toss to combine.

Assembly

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously over each slice.
