GARLIC CROSTINI



Garlic Crostini image

I purchased a box of 'garlic chips' the other day. I arrived home only to discover my four dollar box of bread slices were all broken. It was then that I decided I'd simply make my own...less expensive with better flavour. Crostini are multi-use flavoured and baked thin bread slices. I've used them to float cheese in onion soup, broken into giant croutons for salads, and my favourite...as a base for flavourful spreads and appetizers. Don't discount their use plain, as a crunchy snack either. Recipe #415921 is an easy and tasty spread that goes well with these. I recommend using day old baguettes to make slicing easier.

Time 30m

Yield 30 slices, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup olive oil, I use a mix of regular and light olive oils
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 baguette, sliced 1/4-inch - 1/2-inch thick
kosher salt, sprinkling (optional)
fresh ground black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil and minced garlic in a heat-proof measuring cup. Microwave at half power for 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • Note: depending on the size of your baguette, you may have to double the garlic oil ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375*. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the baguette, on the diagonal, into 1/4" to 1/2" thick slices.
  • Using a pastry brush lightly wipe both sides of the bread slices with garlic oil. Arrange on the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle (one side only), lightly with kosher salt and black pepper (if using).
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Turn slices over and continue to bake for another 5 - 10 minutes or until golden in colour and crispy. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the slices and the amount of garlic oil used.
  • Remove from the baking sheet and let cool in a single layer on a cooling rack.
  • You can use these immediately, or allow to cool completely for storage in an airtight container.
