Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter. Mince the garlic and add it to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
Brush one side of each baguette slice with olive oil, then flip them over and brush the other side with the garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the slices. Top each piece with a generous amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crostini are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and garnish each piece with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
