Preparation
  1. Dice the tomatoes into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
  3. Chop the fresh basil into small pieces.
  4. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Assembling the Bruschetta
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and coated.
  4. Arrange the sliced baguette pieces on a baking sheet and toast lightly in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each toasted baguette slice.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If desired, you can lightly rub toasted baguette slices with a whole garlic clove before spooning on the tomato mixture for an extra garlic kick.
