Time 35m

Yield 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped, plus 2 whole cloves
3/4 cup finely diced prosciutto
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
4 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
2 baguettes, sliced on the bias
1/4 cup finely chopped sage

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor combine the 3 smashed garlic cloves, prosciutto, crushed red pepper, and 3 cans of beans. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and puree until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick add more olive oil; the mixture should be fairly loose. Taste to see if the mixture needs salt (it probably will). Add the remaining can of beans and pulse to combine (the mixture should be a little bit coarse). Taste again to see if it needs salt. It should be creamy and a little chunky and really well flavored. Remove from the food processor to a large bowl and reserve at room temperature.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Grill the baguette slices on both sides on the preheated grill pan. When the bread looks slightly charred and is crispy remove them and rub each crostini with the raw garlic cloves.
  • Top each toast with a big schmear of the bean puree and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with sage and arrange on serving platters to serve. Bravissimo!

I've made these crostini several times and they're always a hit. They're the perfect finger food for parties and they're always gone in minutes.

These crostini are a great way to use up leftover beans. I love that they're so versatile and can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crostini turned out perfectly. They were crispy and flavorful, and the bean spread was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I really enjoyed these crostini. The prosciutto and sage really balance out the flavor of the beans.

These crostini are so simple, yet so flavorful. I love the contrast between the creamy beans and the crispy prosciutto.

Delicious and easy to make! I used cannellini beans instead of white beans, and it turned out great.

These crostini were a hit at my party! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the sage added a really nice touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
