Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, yielding approximately 20–24 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Brush the garlic olive oil mixture generously on top of each baguette slice using a pastry brush.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each slice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges of the crostini are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the crostini cool slightly on the baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the crostini as a garnish before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or with your favorite dip or spread.
