Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Place escarole in bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and pinch of ground black pepper. Let stand 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat large skillet over high heat. Cook escarole until browned and wilted, about 6 minutes; turn and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and cool. Cut off root end and any blackened pieces from escarole and discard, then coarsely chop escarole.
Step 3
Whisk 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar, minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Season with pepper. Add escarole and toss to coat; let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush bread slices on 1 side with additional olive oil. Place oiled side up on baking sheet and bake until golden, about 6 minutes. Rub bread with halved garlic.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until brown but not crisp.
Step 6
Place 2 crostini on each of 4 plates. Divide escarole among crostini; top each with 1 bacon piece and 1 cheese slice. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Top each with 1 teaspoon mostarda.

Back to TopI actually found mostarda at a local Italian deli and these crostini were scrumptious!

I was looking for something different to do with some escarole that I had gotten from a local farm. Thought this looked interesting and wanted to give it a try. I didn't have the cheese or the mostarda so I made some substitutions. Used Boursin Cheese spread and Dalmatia orange Fig Spread. Spread these on the bread first then added the escarole. Yummy

My younger sister, 14 yrs old next month, ate her serving of crostini! She is a very picky eater, who is more than content with just a cheese pizza. If she ate this- and with out a fuss- it must deserve four forks! I substituted fresh local mozzarella and a chutney mixed with a dash of honey for the mostarda. It was excellent!

Searched high and low for mostarda but could not find it. Proceeded anyway, substituting guiancale for the bacon. Luckily, I stole one from the tray before I put them out because they all disappeared in the two minutes between dropping them off and returning with a second tray of appetizers.
