Ingredients:
½ C. olive oil
1 C. fresh grated good quality parmesan cheese
Method:
- Bake filet mignon to med-rare temp. Once ready, take out of oven and set aside to ‘rest’ for about 15 minutes. Then slice into 2 inch thick slices.
- In the meantime, make your crostinos.
- On non-stick baking sheet, lay out bread slices.
- Brush with olive oil.
- Generously add freshly ground parmesan cheese and black pepper to each piece.
- Broil (on hi) until they are light brown. *** Watch closely, this should only take approx. 3-5 min.
