Caprese Crustini



Trish told me about this delicious and flavorful appetizer. It's an easy variation on a simple caprese salad. You have your fresh tomatoes and your soft mozzarella cheese, but instead of using fresh basil leaves, just top each tomato with a little pesto sauce. It's SO tasty! Your guests will love it!
Thanx Trish!

Italian bread
fresh tomatoes
basil pesto sauce
fresh mozzarella cheese

Place sliced bread on a baking sheet and place under broiler for a minute or two, just until lightly golden. Flip them over, and place them back under the broiler to toast the other side. Top each one with a slice of tomato, a tsp of pesto sauce and slices of mozzarella cheese. How easy is that? Enjoy!

Tip:
You can use store bought pesto or make Chris's Pesto Sauce (it's really yummy!). After you assemble the crustini, you can drizzle each one with a little olive oil, if you like.
