Servings Crostini

Ingredients

1 Baguette, Ciabatta, or Italian Loaf thinly sliced (about 1/4-inch thick)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (about 1/4 cup or as needed)
2-3 Garlic Cloves peeled
Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper, or Fresh Herbs optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay the sliced bread pieces out on a baking sheet.
Lightly brush each slice with olive oil. This will help them toast evenly and give them that golden, crispy edge we all love.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crisp.
Once the crostini are warm and out of the oven, take a peeled garlic clove and rub it directly onto the surface of each slice* The warmth of the bread will release the garlic oils, giving a beautifully mild garlic flavour.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt or some fresh herbs if you'd like, and you're good to go!

Notes

Rub the garlic on the crostini lightly for a subtle flavour or more vigorously for a stronger garlic hit.
