‘Sleezy Capreezy’ because this recipe will really get around. This app will tease and please- It may bring you to your knees!
Italian Caprese Crostini with Mozzarella, Tomato, Garlic, Pesto, Basil, and Balsamic Glaze
Place slices of bread on a baking sheet
Brush each slice of bread with olive oil
Spread a light layer of minced garlic over the oil
Toast bread until crispy in an oven or toaster oven
Wash and slice tomatoes (as thinly as possible)
Slice Mozzarella as thinly as possible
Wash Fresh Basil, dry, and use kitchen shears to cut into small strips
Use a butter knife to spread Classic Pesto on each Toast slice
Place a tomato slice at the left edge of the Toast slice
Nestle a slice of Mozzarella cheese just off the edge of the tomato slice
Repeat until your toast is covered by alternating and slightly staggered Tomato and Mozzarella slices (typically 4-5)
Repeat for all toasts
Sprinkle Salt and Pepper to taste
Drizzle Balsamic Vinegar Glaze on top of your Capreezies
Chop your fresh Basil, and sprinkle it on top of your toasts
Top each slice with a few Pignolia Nuts
Cover and hold until you are close to serving time
Right before serving, Place Sleezy Capreezy toasts in the Air Roaster or oven for 7-8 minutes- until the toasts get brown and crispy.
13 .Place on a tray and enjoy
Sleezy Capreezies make great Make ahead appetizers. Prep the ingredients, Assemble the toasts, cover, and finish the final toast right before you are ready to serve.
Watch your Capreezys on the final toast. You want to cook enough that the flavors infuse in the bread, and the creamy Mozzarella, is nice and melted golden-brown
Choose similar diameters for the bread, tomato, and Mozzarella Cheese
If you choose Mozzarella that is pre-sliced, consider slicing each slice again to make them thin
You can serve each toast, or serve thinly sliced- the perfect appetizers
