This is a wonderful cocktail party appetizer. If you (or your guests) aren't fond of anchovies, try the roasted pepper variation. Or make both - and everyone will be happy! Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
16 slices italian bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick |
16 slice mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick |
32 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry, chopped |
1 lb fresh plum tomatoes, cut into 16 thin slices |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Brush oil on one side of bread slices and place oiled side up on flat baking sheet. Cover each slice of bread with a slice of mozzarella, sprinkle with chopped anchovy, and top with a slice of tomato. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 10 minutes.
3. Variation: In place of anchovies and plum tomatoes, use 1/4 cup black or green pureed olives, and 2 large roasted red peppers cut in 1/4 inch strips. Spread bread with olive puree, lay on Mozzarella cheese, and cover with two crossed strips of red pepper. Bake as above.
