Bread

Method

Preparation of Topping

  1. 1

    Wash and dice the tomatoes into small pieces, removing the seeds if desired.

  2. 2

    Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin strips (chiffonade).

  3. 3

    Mince the garlic cloves finely.

  4. 4

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Mix gently and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 5

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  3. 7

    Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.

  4. 8

    Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Remove the grilled bread from the grill and let it cool slightly.

  2. 10

    Top each slice of grilled bread generously with the tomato mixture.

  3. 11

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
