Description

Garlicky and delicious, and simple to make too!

Ingredients

  • 1 jar (8-10 Oz. Jar) Basil Pesto (I Use Classico Brand)
  • Baguette Bread (presliced If Your Store Has It)
  • 8 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese (not Shredded)
  • 1 container (16 Oz. Container) Tomato Bruschetta (I Use The Premade Stuff On The Olive Bar At My Grocery Store)
  • 4 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 4 ounces, weight Parmesan Or Romano Cheese

Preparation

Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil (this makes for easy clean up!). If you can’t find a pre-sliced baguette, slice the one you do get into 1/4-inch slices. Put the bread slices on baking sheets. Drizzle each slice with olive oil. Toast the bread under the broiler until lightly browned. I toast both sides. I’m not a fan of soggy bread, and this helps with that!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. After the bread is toasted, put 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of basil pesto on each bread slice. On top of the pesto, put 1 teaspoon (or so) of tomato bruschetta. Sprinkle parmesan or romano over the bruschetta. On top of bruschetta, put a slice of mozzarella (1 square inch piece). Bake until mozzarella begins to melt and bruschetta is warmed through.

These are a requirement for every family gathering … and we have a lot of gatherings!
