Preparation steps

1.
Preheat oven to 350º F / 175º C. In a blender or food processor combine basil, garlic, Parmesan, walnuts, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil to make a thick paste.
2.
Place bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
3.
Once crostini is cool enough to handle, spread 1 teaspoon of pesto on each slice. Top with chopped tomatoes and mozzarella. Garnish with basil and serve immediately.
