This simple recipe makes the perfect addition to your festive Anti-pasta table.

It’s simple to make and it’s a reaal crowd pleaser.

1. Drain your bocconcini, and rinse your tomatoes. Set them aside.
2. Slice and toast your bread until all slices are golden and crunchy,
3. While the bread is warm, slather it with a thick layer of basil pesto. The whole slice needs to be properly covered in pesto.
4. Arrange one Bocconcini ball and one cherry tomato on each slice and finally place the bruschetta onto a large serving tray or wooden board in the pattern of a classic Christmas tree, and fill in any gaps between the slices with fresh basil leaves. 

Drizzle with olive oil directly before serving and season with salt and pepper.

This recipe may seem too simplistic to merit a spot at your table, but that is the secret of authentic Italian food – great ingredients celebrated in the most honest possible way.
