Directions
Grilled Mozzarella and Tomato Skewers, Created by Chef Richard Krause for Chef on a Shoestring The CBS Saturday Early Show challenge was to create a gourmet 3 course meal for 4 people for less than $20 I love the presentation of this, much more interesting than simple bruschetta Cut the bread into about 3/4 thick rounds for this The ingredients after the skewers is for the sauce I’ve also made this without the bread before and served it over couscous as a main dish BE VERY CAREFUL cooking these as you only want them lightly toasted It literally takes seconds If you leave them over the heat too long, the cheese will melt all over the place , This is a quick and easy recipe We cut the crusts off of white bread and cut it into squares instead of the french bread and we added some cilantro for a little more flavor Turned out great Just a warning though: you really have to watch your bread while you’re toasting and the cheese too
