How to Make Crostini
Report
How to Make Crostini involves slicing a baguette thinly and brushing both sides with extra-virgin olive oil before baking until crisp and golden. Sprinkling flaky sea salt enhances the flavor and the crostini serve as a base for a variety of toppings. This method yields crunchy, toasted bread that can be served alone or garnished with savory or sweet additions for appetizers or snacks.
Description
How to Make Crostini starts with slicing a baguette thinly on the bias to create elongated pieces ideal for toasting. Brushing the slices with olive oil on both sides before baking ensures even browning and a crisp texture. Baking at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes crisps the bread to a golden color without burning. Sprinkling flaky sea salt after baking adds a subtle saltiness that complements any toppings added later. The crostini can be served immediately with a host of toppings, from cheeses and spreads to vegetables and charcuterie, or stored for a short time at room temperature. This toasted bread base is versatile, making it a handy preparation for various appetizers or small bites.
