1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 8 slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomatoes.
Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the tomato mixture and stir well.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted baguette.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Italian Bruschetta.
