Yield 10 Crostinis, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 of a baguette, Sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
cumin, for sprinkling
chili powder, for sprinkling
4 slices bacon
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup salsa
1 ancho chili pepper, Chopped
1/2 cup of shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
1/2 cup of arugula lettuce

Steps:

  • Start out by chopping up your baguette into 3/4" slices.
  • Brush the olive oil over the top of the pieces and sprinkle them with your cumin and chili powder.
  • Next up, you'll mix together the mayo. salsa, and the chili pepper.
  • Spread your mixture over the top of your baguette bites.
  • Now it's time to add your shredded cheese.
  • Now, take your cheesed up crostinis and throw them into the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes; just long enough to get the cheese good and melted.
  • While they're in the oven, grab your bacon and fry it up.
  • Pull out the cooked up pieces, let them cool and drain, and then cut them into thirds.
  • Now, take your cooked up crostinis and place a piece of bacon, then the arugula and finally the chopped tomatoes.
  • Finish them off by sprinkling a couple leaves of fresh cilantro over the top.

These crostini were delicious! The chipotle mayo added a nice kick, and the bacon and avocado were a great combination. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
