Pesto tomatoes on parmesan crisps Recipe
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Step 2
Place the tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tomatoes start to collapse. Allow to cool.
Step 3
Increase oven to 180°C and line 2 trays with baking paper. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese in a 3cm round cutter on a tray and gently pat down the cheese. Repeat with the remaining cheese to make 24 discs, allowing room to spread. Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on trays to room temperature.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place basil, pine nuts, garlic and extra parmesan in a small food processor, then whiz until finely chopped. With the motor running, add remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a steady stream until combined. Alternatively, pound in a mortar and pestle until you have a coarse paste.
Step 5
Place the crisps on a platter, top with pesto, tomatoes and basil, then serve.
