1
Prepare the tomatoes
Dice the Roma tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add seasoning
Chop the garlic cloves and add them to the diced tomatoes. Then add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Prepare the basil
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomato mixture. Stir gently to combine.

4
Prepare the bread
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.
5
Brush with olive oil
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
6
Grill the bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the oiled bread slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

7
Top the grilled bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on each slice.
8
Drizzle with balsamic reduction
Finally, drizzle the balsamic reduction over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.
9
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
