Ingredients

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 loaf Italian bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir gently and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill bread slices for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly charred and crisp.
Spoon tomato mixture generously over each grilled bread slice. Serve immediately.

Tips

For best flavor, use vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil.
If you don't have a grill, toast bread in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
Bruschetta is best served fresh; do not refrigerate assembled pieces.
