Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings is best. A baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough are all good options.
  • Slice the bread thinly: This will help the crostini to cook evenly.
  • Brush the bread with olive oil: This will help the crostini to brown and crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the crostini, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Watch the crostini closely: They can burn easily, so be sure to keep an eye on them while they are cooking.
  • Top the crostini with your favorite ingredients: There are endless possibilities for toppings, so get creative and have fun!
