Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Halve tomatoes. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut bocconcini in half, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add pine nuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer pine nuts to a plate.

Add ciabatta, half the garlic puree and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add ciabatta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides, 4-6 min. Transfer croutons to a plate.

Coat bocconcini

Add bocconcini and remaining garlic puree to the same medium bowl (from step 3). Toss to coat. Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (use same for 4 ppl), then breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden, 2-3 min. Remove the pan from heat, then add bocconcini. Shake the pan and toss bocconcini to coat.
