Tomato, Mozzarella & Thai Basil Crostini

These tomato, mozzarella and Thai basil crostini offer a vibrant, contemporary twist on the classic Italian antipasto. By swapping traditional olive oil for toasted sesame and adding a splash of rice vinegar, the tomatoes take on a bright, savoury depth that pairs beautifully with creamy mozzarella. Using a seeded or sesame-flecked bread provides a nutty crunch that elevates the dish from a simple snack to an elegant vegetarian starter.

Ideal for summer gatherings or as a light lunch, this recipe is as much about assembly as it is about flavour. The key is allowing the tomatoes to marinate, ensuring every mouthful is juicy and well-seasoned. Serve these colourful toasts on a large platter alongside a crisp glass of white wine for the ultimate seasonal appetiser that guests will love.
