Some things are just meant to be together — like tomato, basil and garlic. Crafting a successful classic crostini is all about the quality of the ingredients. We use organic extra virgin olive oil, Organic Valley® Cultured Butter and the right amount of Organic Valley® Shredded Mozzarella atop a golden brown French baguette for a perfectly crispy party favorite.

Heat oven to 400 F.
Cut off top 1/2 inch of garlic head exposing cloves. Place on a small sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over garlic; wrap head tightly with foil. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until garlic is very soft.
While garlic bakes, slice baguette into 2/3 inch thick slices. Brush slices lightly with butter. Place buttered sides up in one layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake alongside garlic 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.
Unwrap garlic; squeeze soft garlic out of skins into a medium bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; mash together with a fork. Add tomatoes, basil, vinegar, salt and pepper flakes; mix lightly. Stir in cheese. Just before serving, spoon tomato mixture over crostini.
