1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Basil and Seasoning
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the bowl with tomatoes. Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
3
Add Mozzarella
Chop or tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and gently fold it into the tomato and basil mixture.

4
Slice the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5
Toast the Bread
Brush one side of each slice with olive oil. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and toast the slices, oiled side down, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

6
Top the Toasts
Remove the toasted bread from the skillet. Spoon the tomato, basil, and mozzarella mixture generously on top of each slice of bread.
7
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
