Fast & Furious Bruschetta

Serves a party (18)

You''ll need...

– 5 oz cups Cantaré Fresh Roasted Vine Tomatoes
2 - 7 oz tubs Cantaré Traditional Olive Tapenade
1 cup fresh basil leaves
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large French baguettes, sliced 1-inch thick (about 36 slices)
1 1/2 lbs of Cantaré Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick – Ovoline or Sofficella preferred

Here's how...

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a baking sheet, line up baguette slices and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in oven for about three minutes or until crisp & golden brown. Rub the garlic on the toasted side of each slice and then lay a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Place crostini back in oven and melt cheese slightly, about one minute. Remove from oven. Top each crostini with a teaspoon of olive tapenade, basil leaf and two pieces of fresh roasted vine tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
