These little yummies from Jamie Oliver are a cinch to prepare and taste fantastic. I usually don't eat dairy but I make an exception for these crostini. They're just that good. I made a huge platter to serve as appetizers before Christmas dinner and my family gobbled them up in record speed. Don't be put off by the slivers of chili- they're not so spicy hot that you'll burn your mouth if you're not a spice lover. The mozz and lemon cool things down considerably.
Speaking of Jamie, he named his last kid Buddy Bear Maurice. BUDDY BEAR. That is a naming tragedy of epic proportions. I'm a big Jamie fan but, um, uh....what? Poor baby. His life is going to be so hard once he steps foot on a schoolyard.
MOZZARELLA, CHILI & LEMON CROSTINI

printer friendly recipe
8 slices ciabatta bread
1 clove garlic
extra virgin olive oil
2 small balls of buffalo mozzarella
Sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
1 red chili, deseeded and finely sliced
a small handful of fresh basil leaves
1 lemon for zesting
Heat a griddle pan until it’s really smoking hot, then griddle each slice of ciabatta for a couple of minutes on each side until they are nicely charred.
Cut the garlic clove in half, rub each ciabatta slice with garlic and drizzle with a little olive oil. Tear the mozzarella evenly over the 8 crostini. Season well with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the sliced chili and basil leaves and grate over the lemon zest. Finish with another drizzle of olive oil.
Makes 8.
Simply scrumptious, Janee. Keep the yumminess coming!
