Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mediterranean Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This simple appetizer is a special treat during the height of the season when tomatoes and basil are both at their peak.

12 slices (each about 1/2 inch thick) Italian bread
2 tablespoons Oliveri Premium 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup chopped firm-ripe plum tomatoes
1 small clove garlic, pressed salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 fresh basil leaves

Grill or broil the bread on both sides until browned. Meanwhile combine the olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl; toss to blend. Arrange the toasted bread on a large platter or tray. Place a basil leaf on each place of bread and top with a rounded teaspoonful of the tomato mixture. Serve at once.
