Rustic bread crostini with a melting heart of Caciotta Maremmana, enriched with sun-dried tomatoes, green olives, and fresh basil leaves. A Mediterranean appetizer, perfect for aperitivo or as a tasty starter.
Cut the bread into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from the oil and cut them into strips. Slice the green olives into rounds. Cut the Caciotta Maremmana into 8 thin slices.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place a slice of Caciotta Maremmana on each slice, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and olive slices.
Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and a grind of black pepper. Bake at 180°C (static oven) for about 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and top each bruschetta with a fresh basil leaf. Serve immediately, hot.
