Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette Baguette fresh, for crunchy texture
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil adds richness and flavor
  • 1 clove Garlic infuses crostini with aroma

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Sharp Knife
  • Small Bowl
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces for even toasting.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and garlic. For a milder flavor, let it infuse for 10 minutes.
  4. Lay baguette slices on the baking sheet and brush one side with garlic oil.
  5. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Make a large batch; they store well in an airtight container for a few days.
  • Add herbs or spices to the olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with different toppings for variety.
