Steps:

• Slice the bread and very lightly paint with the olive oil and toast (dry) the slices in the oven 300°F for approx 20 minutes or until the slices are crisp dried.
• I do this well in advance and keep the dried toasts in an air tight container so you always have some on hand, or you can buy ready made ones.

• Chop until you have a very fine spreadable mixture, let stand for at least 1/2 hour.
• I make mine up a few hours in advance.
• Spread the mixture on the dry toasts.
• Top with fresh chopped tomato.
• Sprinkle with cheese of your choice.
• Place in 375°F oven for approx 15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is golden.

CROSTINI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• For the sun-dried tomato jam:
• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the crostini:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.
