Delicious ! My family loves this recipe and i have served it numerous times and still they want more..... Ingredients:
2 boboli bread shells, 6 dia |
(or similar italian flat bread) |
2 tbl freshly-grated parmesan cheese |
tomato-basil topping |
1 1/2 cup seeded diced roma tomatoes |
1 tbl chopped fresh basil |
1 tbl extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 tsp salt |
garlic oil |
1 garlic clove cut thin slices |
2 tbl extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. For Tomato-Basil Topping: Blend all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Just prior to serving, drain in a colander or strainer to eliminate excess liquid.
2. For Garlic Oil: Let a thinly-sliced clove of garlic soak in 2 tablespoons olive oil for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavor to infuse.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4. Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with foil. Dribble garlic oil over Boboli, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until hot, but not crisped or dried.
5. Cut the Boboli into 6 wedges or 2- by 2-inch squares. Remove to a serving plate and cover, generously, with the cold Tomato-Basil Topping, serve immediately
