How to Make Sun Dried Tomato And Basil Crostini

  1. Place 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in a medium bowl.
  2. Add 6 tablespoons Italian dressing and toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
  3. Marinate the tomatoes at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. While tomatoes marinate, cut a baguette (or other crusty bread) diagonally into 8 slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Stack 10-12 fresh basil leaves and tightly roll them up lengthwise.
  7. Cut the basil roll crosswise into very thin slices to create a chiffonade.
  8. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Italian dressing.
  9. Bake the bread for 3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown.
  10. Evenly distribute the marinated sun-dried tomatoes among the toasted bread slices.
  11. Return the crostini to the oven and bake for another 4 minutes, or until the tomatoes are heated through.
  12. Garnish with the basil chiffonade and serve immediately. Enjoy!
  13. Serve 2 crostini per person.
