1
Dice the Tomatoes
Wash the Roma tomatoes, remove the seeds, and dice them into small cubes.
2
Prepare the Basil
Wash the fresh basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop them roughly.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
4
Mix the Topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal to create more surface area for toasting.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil to ensure a crispy texture when grilled.
7
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the oiled baguette slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

8
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.
9
Drizzle with Balsamic Reduction
Finish by drizzling a small amount of balsamic reduction over each bruschetta for added flavor.
