Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Topping

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and add them as well.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.

  2. 4

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Top the Bread

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice.

  2. 6

    Finish with Balsamic Glaze

    Drizzle balsamic glaze over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.
