Description
The traditional caprese salad gets a makeover by placing all of the ingredients on top of a toasted slice of a French baguette.
Ingredients
- 1 French Baguette
- Butter, Olive Oil Or Pam Cooking Spray, For Coating The Top Of Each Slice Of Bread
- ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 8 ounces, weight Chunk Of Mozzarella Cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh Basil
- 3 Large Tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¾ teaspoons Fresh Cracked Pepper
- ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 250 F. Slice the baguette on a diagonal. Place slices on a cookie sheet. You can either butter each slice, drizzle olive oil over them, or spray PAM cooking spray on them. Sprinkle with grated parmesan. Put in the oven on low heat (about 250°F) and keep an eye on them—you want them to be golden around the edges and toasted. Take the bread out of the oven and flip the slices over and repeat the olive oil step with that side. Then put it back in the oven to finish toasting.
Slice the mozzarella, basil and tomatoes so that they can fit on the crostini. Save some basil for garnish if you want to. Place the ingredients on the crostini in that order. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with chiffonades of basil for garnish.
