One of the many options for an Italian crostino. Perfect as a starter, appetiser or snack. Mozzarella and figs make a delicious combination, not only in terms of taste but also in terms of texture. Make sure you use good quality mozzarella, which is nice and soft.
Slice the baguette into approx. 24 slices. Place the bread on a baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Toast the bread in the oven for around 8 minutes until golden brown.
Heat a frying pan and toast the pine nuts over medium heat for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Cool them on a plate.
Cut each ball of mozzarella into 6 slices and each fig into 6 wedges. Put some rocket, a slice of mozzarella and a fig slice on each slice of bread. Zigzag some balsamic glaze on top and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
