Crostini

This is super easy to make these crisp toasts for appetizers.

Ingredients

1 French-bread baguette, sliced 1/4" thick

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil for brushing

1 Garlic clove, whole

Salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F

Lightly brush both sides of each side with olive oil using a pastry brush – just a thin layer of olive oil.

Place the slices in a single layer on two baking sheets that are lined with parchment paper.

Bake on middle rack for about 8 to 10 minutes until golden; then turn them over and bake the second side, about the same time. Keep an eye on this so they don’t burn.

Once removed, rub the garlic clove on each slice and lightly sprinkle with salt on top.

Notes:

The crostini can be made a few days ahead of time as long as you keep them in an airtight container. I prefer to make them the same day that I serve my appetizers.
