1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld for at least 10 minutes.

2
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or ciabatta into 1/2-inch thick slices.
3
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

4
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of grilled bread.
5
Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the topped bread to taste, adding a sweet and tangy finish.
