Spanish Bruchetta & Mozzarella and Steak Croissant

Dinner!
For an app I was craving something spanish with a delicate crunch....Bruchetta! I have some Campari tomatoes, which are like giant cherry tomatoes, that's why I like them. They are slightly sweet. I think the bigger ones have less flavor, although, perfect on a juicy hamburger.

For dindin I wanted something Frenchy, I also have been craving croissants like crazy and realized I've been starving poor B from lack of steak. So steak sandwiches? Indeed.

My favorite part of dinner is that I got to use fresh basil and mint from our newly made herb garden. :)

Bruchetta

• 4 diced campari tomatoes
• 1/2 diced yellow bell pepper
• basil
• mint
• EVOO
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Herbs De Provence
• french bagette
• butter
• 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
• chopped Prosciutto

Toasted the bread in the butterd up pan. Mmmm. Butter. After the bread was done and taken out I added some herbs de provence to the pan...totally forgot there was no sifter on that little jar and out came a bunch ...eeek. But thanks to that I decided to add some garlic to it and after some toasting took it out, put it in a bowl and added some olive oil and boo ya! A nice little herbed garlic olive oil sauce!












Sprinkled it all over the bruchetta breads, then added the bell pepper and tomatoes, prosciutto and then my wonderful freshly picked and chopped mint and basil .
Add a couple drops of Balsamic to each and Oh My God. YES> YES> YES>

Mozzarella and Steak Croissant

Giada De Laurentis is one of my favorite chefs to watch on the tube. I had her recipe to start off from. I did Mozzarella instead of brie and I put my croissants with the cheese on top in the oven to toast and get the cheese nice and melted. Also, since I had lots of extra herbal oil left over I put it in the pan for the steaks to fry in :0 Ooo baby.
Here is the link to her recipe.

B was very happy to have his steak. :) Bella loved her bits of bell pepper.
I loved it all.
