Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 200 grams Swiss cheese
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick rounds, about 12-16 slices depending on the size of the loaf.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle both sides with olive oil.
Bake the slices in the oven for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are lightly golden and crispy.
While the bread toasts, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Grate or thinly slice the Swiss cheese into portions that will fit each baguette slice.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. Using a brush or spoon, spread a small amount of the garlic butter onto each slice.
Top each slice with a piece of Swiss cheese.
Return the crostini to the oven for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Once done, sprinkle a pinch of thyme, salt, and black pepper over the top of each crostini for garnish.
Serve the Swiss Cheese Crostini warm and enjoy!
