  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinaigrette

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Pesto

  • 3/4 box Bowery Basil

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 garlic clove

  • 4 tablespoons pine nuts

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

1.

Place all the ingredients for the pesto in a blender and blend until smooth.

Slice the baguette on an angle and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes per side. While the bread is still hot, rub a clove of garlic over the slices.
