Pesto and Roast Tomato Crostini with Balsamic Glaze
Pesto and Roast Tomato Crostini with Balsamic Glaze will be the favorite appetizer at every party! Fresh & flavorful basil pesto, naturally sweet grape tomatoes, and the addictive balsamic glaze are a perfect combination.
Toss the tomatoes in olive oil and season lightly with salt & pepper. Roast in the oven at 400F for about 10 minutes, or until tomatoes start to split and release juices.
Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast in the oven at 400F for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine all the ingredients for the pesto in a small food processor, and pulse for a few seconds until well combined. Taste and see if more salt or lemon juice is needed.
To assemble the crostini: add about ½ - ¾ teaspoon pesto to each slice of toasted baguette. Top each crostini with 2-3 burst tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve warm immediately.
