Caprese Crostini
Ingredients
- baguette sliced
- olive oil
- grape tomatoes sliced in half lengthwise
- mozzarella cheese I purchased "slicing" mozzarella which is firmer and easier to slice, but any mozzarella cheese will work Slice cheese so it fits the size of the bread, or use grated mozzarella cheese.
- fresh basil and oregano
- balsamic glaze
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat skillet on high, brush the sliced bread with olive oil.
- Place the bread on hot skillet and brush the other side with olive oil, turn the temperature to medium flip when the first side is toasted and golden.
- Top each slice of bread with cheese.
- Place the sliced tomatoes in the skillet for 2 minutes and turn them over to heat them easily.
- Then place the tomatoes on top of the cheese and cover the pan with a lid for a minute to two until cheese melts (or place it under a hot broiler for a minute or two).
- Top the toasts with fresh basil, oregano, salt, and pepper with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Notes
for every 10 slices of bread, you'll need 20 grape tomatoes and about 4 oz mozzarella cheese, one stem of fresh basil and one stem of fresh oregano and two tablespoons balsamic glaze.
