These were a favorite at my New Year's party! I was inspired to make them after having a tasty version at Macaroni Grill. Make sure your ingredients are fresh, it makes a big difference. Ingredients:
1 baguette |
2 containers fresh grape tomatoes |
about 30 large fresh basil leaves |
at least 1/2 cup shaved or shredded parmesan |
1/2 cup olive oil |
salt & pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil, set aside.
2. Cut baguette into thin, flat slices; about 1/4 of an inch thick. Arrange baguette slices on baking sheets, making sure not to overlap. Brush slices generously with olive oil. Top each slice with a small amount of parmesan, saving some for garnish. Bake baguette slices for 6 minutes, or until golden & crispy.
3. Meanwhile, dice tomatoes & set aside in a small bowl. Chop basil into thin slices & add to bowl. Mix together, adding salt & freshly ground pepper to taste.
4. Once baguette slices are done, spoon a small amount of tomato mixture onto each, then top with freshly shaved parmesan. Arrange on a platter & serve at room temperature.
