1
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Brush with Olive Oil
Using a brush, spread the olive oil on both sides of each slice.
3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

4
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Prepare the Basil
Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
6
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl.
7
Add Seasoning
Pour in the balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

8
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice.
9
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and drizzle with more olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
