We’re going to make you an offer you can’t refuse: Spend just a few minutes in the kitchen to serve up an elegant, restaurant-quality appetizer that’s a fun twist on BLT’s. You can’t go wrong. Capiche? —Kendra Allanson, Front Royal, Virginia
Ingredients:
1 loaf (8 ounces) french bread, cut into 16 slices
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
8 bacon strips, halved
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 teaspoons lemon juice
16 fresh basil leaves
16 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup prepared pesto
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Brush bread slices with 2 tablespoons oil and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
3. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice and remaining oil; spread over toast. Top each with a basil leaf, tomato, pesto and a piece of bacon. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 16 appetizers.
