Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  2. Slice the baguette crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices, cutting diagonally so that you get the longest slices possible ( see the shape of the slices in the photos)
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the butter and olive oil.
  4. If you want any flavor additions, mix them into the butter compound now.
  5. Use a brush to spread the butter compound onto the top of each slice of bread. Make sure that you are only putting on a thin layer otherwise the crostini won't crisp up in the oven, they will be slightly spongy instead.
  6. Place the slices onto a cookie sheet buttered side up.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are toasted and hardened.
  8. Remove and cool completely before storing in a container or plastic bag at room temp.

Notes

  • Use these in my antipasto platter!
