(Crostini Napoletani) Neapolitan-Style Crostini |
|
|
| Ingredients: |
- 16 Slices of Italian bread,
- Cut 1/2-inch thick
- 1/4 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup Black or green olivada* OR
- 1/3 cup (4 oz.) Calamata olives,
- Pitted or finely chopped
- 1/2 lb Fresh mozzarella cheese,
- Cut in 14 1/4-inch slices
- 1/2 lb Plum tomatoes, cut
- Lengthwise into 16 1/4-inch
- Slices
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
|
| Directions: |
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Brush one side of the bread slices with some of the olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet oiled side up. Bake until lightly browned and crusty, about 4 minutes. 2. Spread the olivada or chopped olives on each toast, cover each with a slice of mozzarella and top with a slice of tomato. Brush the tomatoes with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve at once.
- * Olivada is a puree of black or green olives packed in oil that is sold at specialty food stores. You can substitute tapenade or make your own. (Note from me: We have a batch of pesto in the refrigerator so I plan to use it instead of the olivada.)
