1
Chop Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes under cold water, then chop them into small dice. Place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Prepare Basil
Wash the basil leaves and pat them dry. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Add Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture in the bowl.
4
Mix Ingredients
Add the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5
Slice Baguette
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal.

Toast Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Assemble Bruschetta
