1
Chop the Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small cubes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Add Basil and Seasoning
Wash the basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop them roughly. Add the chopped basil to the bowl along with salt and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal to maximize surface area.
5
Brush with Olive Oil
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil to ensure they grill nicely.
6
Grill the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

7
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and top each slice with the tomato mixture.
8
Drizzle Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.
9
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
