1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices at an angle. Place the slices on a baking sheet.
2
Toast the Bread
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

3
Prepare the Tomatoes
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces. If desired, remove the seeds for a less watery topping.
4
Chop the Basil
Stack the basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them thinly (chiffonade).
5
Mix the Topping
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, diced mozzarella cheese, minced garlic (finely chopped), balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix all ingredients.

6
Assemble the Bruschetta
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice. Drizzle with a little extra balsamic vinegar and olive oil if desired.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and crispy. Enjoy your bruschetta!
