Fresh Mozzarella & Tomato Crostini

Caprese Crostinis

These heavenly and bite-sized crostinis couldn’t be simpler to make or more delicious to eat! Using 5 ingredients, you can make your own show-stopping appetizer and wow your guests.

Starting with fresh caprese-inspired ingredients like sliced plum tomatoes, chopped basil leaves and mozzarella cheese, layer these tasty garlic bread crostini morsels with our Olivieri® Basil & Cheese Pesto. We’ve crafted a delicious pesto sauce using quality ingredients so you know you’re providing the best for your family and guests.

For an elegant presentation, use a platter with basil leaves for decoration and drizzle a balsamic reduction over the top in a zigzag for a contrasting colour. To add more depth of flavour, use roasted cherry tomatoes in place of fresh.

While they make a great starter, you can also serve these crostinis as a side dish to add a pop of colour to your dinner table and to offer a fun new take on simple slices of garlic bread.
