1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2
Grill the Bread
Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on both sides. Place the slices on the grill and toast 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 Tomato Mixture
While the bread is grilling, wash and dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
4
Add Flavor to the Tomatoes
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Add the minced garlic and chopped basil to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
5
Season the Mixture
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
6
Assemble the Bruschetta
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each grilled bread slice, ensuring an even distribution of tomatoes and basil on every piece.
7
Serve
Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy as an appetizer or snack.
