Crunchy, crusty sourdough bread with the beautiful flavours of garlic olive oil and basil…. and then that warm and melty cheese with the sweetness of grilled cherry tomatoes.
8 pieces thick sliced sourdough loaf (or loaf of choice)
Garlic Olive Oil
1 avocado, sliced thinly
250g | 9oz vine ripened cherry tomatoes, halved
100g | 3.5oz fresh bambini bocconcini (or baby mozzarella balls)
1/2 cup basil leaves, divided
balsamic glaze
Preheat oven with grill/broiler settings on medium heat.
Place bread onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Place into the oven and grill until crisp and golden.
Top each bread slice with half of the basil leaves, the avocado slices, tomato halves and mozzarella (bocconcini). Season with salt and/or pepper to taste, and place back into the oven for a further 3-5 minutes, or until tomatoes have grilled to your liking and cheese has warmed through.
Finely chop remaining basil leaves and sprinkle over the crostini. Drizzle with balsamic glaze to serve.
