                    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.                              |
