CROSTINI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND ANCHOVY
These little toasts are simple to assemble, especially if you have sun-dried tomatoes and anchovies on hand, and are a great snack to have with drinks. This makes eight crostini, enough for four polite diners to have two each before dinner. Scale up if your crowd is a bit more ravenous.

ANCHOVY CROSTINI
This recipe was in the Australian Womens Weekly Italian cookbook. This crostini recipe is really good. My friends love them. I usually keep some toast rounds on hand so I can make them up in a hurry. Serve them at a cocktail party or as an appetizer before dinner. I make up a batch of the anchovie mix split it into four place each in small plastic bag & freeze for future use - , I have also frozen the toasts with the anchovie spread on them then just decorate before popping into the oven.. I prefer freezing the spread separately.

What are Anchovy Crostini Recipes?
It's safe to say that anchovy crostini recipes are an acquired taste. For those who love anchovies, however, crostini with a fillet of these fish is a culinary delight of epic proportions.
Crostini is an Italian appetizer that consists of grilled or toasted bread that's been slathered with toppings like tomato, cheese, or hummus. Anchovy crostini is a variation on this traditional snack that incorporates the salty, briny flavor of anchovies.
The Benefits of Anchovies
Anchovies are small, oily fish that are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. They're often used as a seasoning or an ingredient in sauces, salads, dips, and pizzas. While some people may turn their nose up at these tiny fish, they actually have several health benefits:
1. High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Anchovies are one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health, heart health, and reducing inflammation. Omega-3s are also important for maintaining healthy skin and hair.
2. Packed with Protein and Nutrients
Despite their small size, anchovies are packed with protein, calcium, iron, and other essential vitamins and minerals.
3. Low in Mercury
Unlike larger fish like tuna, swordfish, and shark, anchovies are low in mercury, which can be harmful in large quantities.
4. Supports Sustainability
Anchovies are a sustainable fish species, which means they're abundant in the ocean and their populations are stable. Choosing to eat anchovies instead of larger, overfished species helps support sustainable fishing practices.
The Basic Components of Anchovy Crostini Recipes
While there are endless variations on anchovy crostini recipes, there are several basic components that make these appetizers delicious:
1. Grilled or Toasted Bread
The foundation of crostini is bread that's been brushed with olive oil and grilled or toasted until crispy. This provides a crunchy base for the other toppings.
2. Anchovy Fillets
No surprise here – the star of the show is the anchovy fillet, which adds that salty, briny flavor that's so characteristic of this dish.
3. Spread or Dip
A spread or dip is often added to the bread before the anchovies are added. This could be anything from a traditional pesto to a creamy cheese spread or even avocado mash.
4. Additional Toppings
While the bread, anchovies, and spread are the three basic components, additional toppings can be added to add flavor and texture. Some popular additions include sliced tomatoes, olives, capers, or fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Recipes for Anchovy Crostini
Here are a few inspiration ideas for creating your own anchovy crostini:
Classic Anchovy Crostini
For a classic flavor, brush slices of baguette with olive oil and grill until crisp. Spread a mixture of softened butter and minced garlic onto each slice, then top with a piece of anchovy fillet. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Mediterranean Anchovy Crostini
For a more complex flavor, spread a layer of creamy hummus onto each piece of grilled bread. Top with a piece of anchovy fillet, sliced roasted red peppers, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Anchovy and Tomato Crostini
Slice cherry tomatoes in half and mix them with chopped basil, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toast sliced bread and rub each piece with a garlic clove. Top with a piece of anchovy fillet, then spoon the tomato mixture over top.
