Ingredients

  • 3 ounces Provolone cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 small garlic clove, peeled
  • 8 plum tomatoes, seeded
  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 12 slices (½-inch thick) French bread (about 2 in diameter)

Preparation

  1. Insert medium shredding disc in a Cuisinart® food processor. Put cheese in large feed tube and shred using medium pressure. Reserve.
