Garlic Toast Topped With Farmers Market Fresh Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, reduce the balsamic vinegar by half over a low flame, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large frying pan, add the chopped garlic and the thin slices of Italian bread. Sauté until lightly browned on both sides. Add olive oil as needed but only enough so the slices brown evenly.
• Place the sautéed bread on the bottom of a large bowl, add the Italian parsley, corn, mozzarella, quartered cherry tomatoes and slivered olives. Drizzle with olive oil and the reduced balsamic vinegar. Season with sea salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange Italian bread on a large baking sheet and spread each slice with garlic butter mixture. Place baking sheet in freezer and freeze until bread solid, about 1 hour. Transfer bread to a resealable plastic freezer bag until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange desired number of slices, butter-side up, on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread is toasted and butter is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
