Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 gluten-free baguette or crusty bread*
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Slice the baguette (or crusty bread*) into ¼” thick slices (up to ½” thick for bruschetta).
    A baguette that's been sliced into thin slices, swirled around on the countertop.
  • Place the bread slices on the lined baking sheet in a single layer and brush the top with olive oil.

  • Sprinkle them with salt to your taste. Add chopped herbs (like parsley) if desired.

  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are crisp.

  • Remove and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!

Notes

*If using bread instead of a baguette: Keep the slices thin (¼-½” thick), and no wider than 3”.
Re-crisping: To revitalize leftovers, re-crisp your crostini in a 350ºF (177ºC) oven for 3-5 minutes.
Air fryer: Cook 8-10 pieces at a time at 325ºF (160ºC) for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Topping ideas:
  • Tomato bruschetta
  • Cream cheese and smoked salmon
  • Ricotta and fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc)
  • Brie cheese (paired with apples or pears)
  • Roasted garlic (or garlic confit)
  • Boursin (aka gournay cheese)
  • Soft cheeses like goat cheese, quark, etc.
  • Caprese (sliced fresh tomato, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil)
