Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.333 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should get about 20-25 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil on one side. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, half of the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture on the oiled side of each baguette slice, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Bake the crostini in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the baguette are golden brown.
Remove the crostini from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes.
Garnish each crostini with a sprinkle of the remaining chopped chives before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Zippy Cheese Crostini!
