1
Prepare the Topping
Chop the ripe tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add the chopped fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides with olive oil.
3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Assemble the Bruschetta
Top each grilled slice of bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm, optionally drizzle with more olive oil or balsamic vinegar if desired.
