- Slice baguette into 16 (1/2-inch-thick) rounds and mozzarella into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Separate basil leaves from stems, setting aside the largest leaves for use.
- To make kabobs, on each of four 12-inch metal skewers, thread one slice bread, followed by a basil leaf, mozzarella slice, another basil leaf, tomato half and then repeat the process, starting with the bread.
- The ingredients should be pressed quite firmly together and each kabob should have 4 slices bread, 6 basil leaves, 3 slices mozzarella and 3 tomato halves. Drizzle a Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil over each skewer and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and remaining oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted, add in garlic and saute/fry till fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in anchovies and saute/fry 1 minute more. Keep hot over very low heat.
- Meanwhile, place kabobs in the center of the cooking grate and grill about 3 min per side to toast the bread and gently heat (but not dissolve) the cheese. Place kabobs on serving plates and drizzle generously with hot anchovy butter. Serve at once.
- This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.
