List of Ingredients




• 1 cup fresh basil
• 1/3 cup olive oil or salad oil
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

1. In a blender container or food processor bowl combine the basil, oil, Parmesan cheese, capers, vinegar, mustard, and garlic. Cover; blend or process until nearly smooth. Set aside.


2. Cut bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out each half, leaving a 1-inch shell. (Save bread crumbs for another use.) Spread the basil mixture over each bread half.
