Garlic Herb Crostini

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 French baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  3. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the herbed oil mixture onto each bread slice, making sure to get some of those garlic and herb pieces on each one.
  5. If using Parmesan, sprinkle a small amount over each crostini.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes—they can go from perfect to burnt quickly!
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. These can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container.
