1
Prepare Tomatoes
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the diced tomatoes.
3
Add Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the bowl with tomatoes and basil.
4
Season the Mixture
Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush one side of each baguette slice with olive oil.

Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the oiled side of the baguette slices on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
