1
Slice and Brush
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
2
Grill the Bread
Place the sliced bread on the grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside.

3
Dice the Tomatoes
While the bread is grilling, dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Chop the Basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
5
Prepare the Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
6
Season the Mixture
Add salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar to the tomato mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

7
Top the Bread
Spoon the tomato topping generously onto each slice of grilled bread. Make sure to distribute evenly.
8
Add Mozzarella
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the bruschetta.

9
Final Touch
Drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
