Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Bread
While the tomato mixture is resting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
