Entertaining the Bakersfield Way by Miles Johnson
Looking for a unique and easy appetizer? Look no farther. A great way to kick-off an evening in is by putting out some French bread and a classic Italian recipe to give that loaf some pizazz.
Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 finely minced Garlic Clove
- Fresh-cracked Pepper
- Sprinkling of Basil
- Loaf of French or Sourdough Bread
Methods/steps
- Pour about a ½ cup of olive oil into a dish.
- Add about two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and your minced garlic clove to the oil.
- Sprinkle fresh-cracked black pepper and dried basil leaves to taste. Now you’re ready to tear off chunks of bread and dip to your hearts’ content.
Additional Tips
Want something a little extra-special? Treat yourselves to an appetizer of caviar, Chèvre, and toasted slices of French bread. Brush a little extra virgin olive oil on the slices of bread and toast in the oven until golden brown. Spread a small portion of Chèvre and top with a small spoonful of caviar. Talk about decadent.
