Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and dried with a paper towel
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 (1/4 inch thick) slices olive bread, halved diagonally

Steps:

  • Mash garlic and salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle; transfer to a food processor. Add roasted red peppers and 1 tablespoon oil; pulse just until a coarse puree forms. Transfer red pepper spread to a bowl and stir in basil, vinegar, sugar, and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brush both sides of bread slices with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  • Top each crostini with 3/4 tablespoon red pepper spread just before serving.
