Sunday afternoon lunch on the terrace...ahh, life is so good. This afternoon we were inspired by Tuscany - a magical land where people eat well but simply. Nothing too fancy or complicated, but definitely delicious, satisfying, and beautiful, this mini open-faced sandwich is the perfect addition to nice weather and good conversation.Delicious served with your favorite wine, some olives, and dark chocolate cake.
- whole wheat crusty bread - or whatever kind of bread you like
- cream cheese
- assorted greens
- roasted red pepper and walnut spread
- freshly ground black pepper
- sea salt
- Cut up your bread into 1/4 inch slices...usually crostini is bite-sized, so you would cut standard sized bread slices in half.
- Lightly toast your bread slices for about 3 minutes on medium heat in your oven. This step is optional.
- Spread cream cheese and red pepper spread on each bread slice. Top with assorted greens and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately. These can be made a little bit in advance, but can get soggy after an hour or so.
