Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
4 cups French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
Olive oil for frying
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons chiffonade of basil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices and wedges
1/4 pound fresh Mozzarella cheese, whole cut into 1/2 –inch chunks, or Bocconcini balls
Method for Croutons:
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil. When smoking hot, add the bread cubes and fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir often to prevent from sticking. Remove from pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
To Assemble:
Toss the fried bread with the other ingredients and place on a platter. Can be made ahead of time, by keeping the bread separate until serving.
