Crostini recipe
Making your own crostini is easy and delicious. Before you know it, you'll be making them every week!
Servings: 1 batch
Ingredients
- 1 Small baguette
- Olive oil
- Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Cut the baguette into thin slices, around 0.5 cm thick. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and arrange the slices on top in a single layer.
- Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil. Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the crostini.
- Bake at 180˚C/350°F (conventional oven) for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them because the slices are so thin so you can overdo it quickly too.
Tips
Try mixing dried Italian herbs or finely chopped garlic into the oil. You can also top the baked crostini with fresh ingredients. All of these tips are described in the article above.
How to store
The crostini are best when freshly baked. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Once topped, the crostini should be eaten immediately.
