Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Add the balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

Grilling

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil.

  3. 6

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the baguette slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Assembly

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice.
