1
Prepare the bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
2
Brush with olive oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced bread, ensuring each slice is lightly coated. Use a brush for even coverage if desired.
3
Toast the bread
Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

4
Chop the tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Prepare basil and garlic
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
6
Season the mixture
Add salt and black pepper to the tomato mixture according to your taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
7
Add balsamic reduction
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the tomato mixture and gently toss to combine.

8
Top the bread
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.
9
Serve immediately
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately for the best texture.
