Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 30m

Yield Yields topping for 30 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 6

Simple Crostini
1 pint chopped grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine tomatoes, basil leaves, olive oil, and red-wine vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Top crostini with topping.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the crostini. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, juicy taste.
  • Make sure to dry the tomatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the crostini from getting soggy. You can use a paper towel to pat the tomatoes dry, or you can place them in a colander and let them drain for a few minutes.
  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese has a soft, creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the tomatoes and basil. You can find fresh mozzarella cheese at most grocery stores.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Toast the bread until it's golden brown: This will help to give the crostini a nice crispy texture. You can toast the bread in the oven, in a toaster oven, or on a grill.
  • Assemble the crostini just before serving: This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can assemble the crostini on a serving platter or on individual plates.

Conclusion:

These tomato mozzarella Thai basil crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with fresh, flavorful ingredients and they're sure to please everyone at your party. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these crostini a try!
