1
Slice the Bread
Cut the baguette or Italian bread into 1-inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil and place them oil-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

3
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Add Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
5
Add Mozzarella
Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes or tear it into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
6
Season the Mixture
Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato, basil, and mozzarella mixture generously on top of each slice.
8
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
