Boo-schetta Recipe

Introduction

Spooky, simple & seriously tasty! This frightfully delightful twist on a traditional bruschetta is sure to be a crowd favourite this Halloween

Ingredients

1 Bakers Delight White Breadstick

Olive oil spray or drizzle

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

Handful of fresh basil, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus extra wedges to serve

12 thin slices mozzarella cheese

Balsamic glaze, for decorating

Method

Preheat oven to 180 °C. Slice the breadstick into 12 even crostini and place them on a baking tray. Spray or drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes, until golden and crisp

Meanwhile, combine diced tomato, red onion, basil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl to make your bruschetta topping. Set aside

Use a small ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut 12 mozzarella ghosts from the cheese slices

Remove crostini from the oven. Spoon bruschetta mix on top of each one

Lay a mozzarella ghost over each crostini, then use tiny dots of balsamic glaze to create the eyes and mouth

Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges and the remaining balsamic glaze on the side for dipping

Tip: If you want the ghosts slightly melted and gooey, pop the topped crostini back into the warm oven (turned off) for 1–2 minutes before adding the “faces”
