1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the slices with extra virgin olive oil.
2
Grill the Bread
Place the bread slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3
Prepare the Topping
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Cube the fresh mozzarella cheese and mix it in with the tomatoes and basil.
4
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
