GODFATHER CROSTINI

Steps:

• •Brush bread slices with 2 tablespoons oil and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice and remaining oil; spread over toast. Top each with a basil leaf, tomato, pesto and a piece of bacon. Sprinkle with cheese.

LOBSTER CROSTINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster, and boil for 5 to 6 minutes, until bright red. Remove the lobster, extract the tail and claw meat from the shell, and dice it. Set aside.
• Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally, and squeeze the juice and seeds into a heavy 1-quart saucepan over low heat. Add the butter, whisking constantly, until it is warm and emulsifies with the tomato juice. Add the lobster meat to the saucepan, and set aside.
• Lightly toast the bread. Spoon some the lobster meat onto each piece, and slowly spoon on the butter mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of basil.
• Serve at once. Provide knives and forks because the crostini make for messy eating.
