Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl of diced tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and add them as well. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Grilling Bread

  1. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 4

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sliced bread on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Assembly

    Top the Bread

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle a little more olive oil on top if desired, and serve immediately while the bread is warm.
