1
Prepare the Topping
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
3
Grill the Bread
Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the grilled bread from the grill and place on a serving platter. Top each slice generously with the tomato and basil mixture.
5
Serve
Optionally, drizzle with additional olive oil and serve immediately while the bread is warm.
