Crostini is an easy appetizer with thin baguette slices lightly toasted until golden brown and crispy. Customize with various toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt, or sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the Oven - Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 350ºF (177ºC).
- Slice the Loaf - Using a serrated knife, cut ½-inch thick slices, about 24 pieces.
- Oil and Season - Brush each side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, using more as needed.
- Toast the Bread - Arrange the slices on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until dry and lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes flipping halfway through. Cool on the sheet tray.
- To Serve - Serve the crostini with desired dips, spread, or toppings.
Notes
- Storing: Crostini can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 to 7 days. It can be frozen for up to 30 days and defrosted before use.
- Make Ahead: Refrigerate crostini with toppings for up to 2 to 3 hours. Sitting any longer or chilling overnight will make the bread soggy.
