Cherry Tomato-Black Olive Crostinis (Super Easy Recipe!)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone -

I am a new member, back on the veggie wagon after many years of

cheating with poultry and seafood, and excited to find this group. I'm

sharing a recipe that is always a crowd pleaser for appetizers!

 

 

Cherry Tomato and Black Olive Crostinis

 

1 can black olives

1 package cherry tomatoes

~ 4 tbsp. Olive oil

~ 1 tbsp. Oregano

Balsamic vinegar

Handful fresh basil

Rock salt

Black pepper

Garlic

Parmesan or Asiago Cheese

French or Italian bread

 

Being a Jamie Oliver recipe, there aren't a lot of exact measurements

- it's just a handful of this, a glug of that. It's really up to your

tastebuds!

 

- Squash tomatoes into a bowl. (Using your hands is easiest, but cover

your hand with your other hand because the tomatoes will splatter. You

can always cut them if you want.)

- Squash olives into the same bowl.

- Add the olive oil, oregano, vinegar, basil, salt, pepper and cheese

into the bowl and mix. There's the topping!

- Brush olive oil on slices of the bread, toast the bread, and then

rub garlic cloves on one or both sides. Add topping to the slices,

sprinkle some more cheese on top, and you're all done.

- As a tip, if you have leftover toppings, it's great tossed in with

some cold pasta.
