Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

    Chop the Garlic and Basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh basil leaves. Add them to the tomato mixture and stir gently to combine.

Grilling

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