An eye catching appetizer for Christmas parties (red, white and green). I saw this in Holiday Appetizers by Favorite Brand Name Recipes and wanted to save it here. I will be making this for the holidays this year.
Ingredients:
1/4 loaf whole wheat baguette (4oz)
4 plum tomatoes
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons pesto sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Slice baguette into very thin diagonal slices.
3. Slice tomato vertically into four 1/4 inch slices.
4. Place baguette slices on non-stick baking sheet, top each with 1 Tbsp cheese, then 1 slice of tomato.
5. Bake approximately 8 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted.
6. Remove from oven, top each crostini with about 1/2 tsp pesto sauce and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
7. Serve warm.
