Simple Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil

fresh garden tomatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs), diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar
fresh basil leaves, chopped.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 baguette
olive oil

In a bowl, mix together tomatoes, garlic, about a tablespoon of olive oil, about a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and a small handful of the fresh chopped basil. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
Slice the baguette to make 1/2 inch thick round slices. Warm a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet or fry pan. (I always use my big cast iron pan for PERFECT toast.) Toast bread slices for 5 minutes, or until the bread just begins to turn golden brown. Place toasted bread on a platter and top with the tomato/basil mixture.
