Ingredients

1 French baguette, cut into diagonal 1/2 inch slices
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Set the oven to broil at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, butter and garlic. Set over medium heat, and cook until butter has melted and the mixture starts to bubble. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Tips:

Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use dried rosemary, but use half the amount.
If you don't have a grill, you can toast the crostini in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
You can use any type of bread for the crostini, but a baguette works best. Just make sure the bread is sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Be careful not to overcrowd the grill or oven when toasting the crostini. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Once the crostini are toasted, rub them with a garlic clove. This will add a delicious flavor to the crostini.
Top the crostini with the olive tapenade, tomatoes, and cheese. You can also add other toppings, such as roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or fish.
Serve the crostini immediately. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Conclusion:

Olive rosemary crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve them as a party appetizer or a light lunch, these crostini are sure to be a hit.
