Ingredients
1 Baguette
2 Sticks Unsalted Butter
3 Cloves Garlic Crushed
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375
Protip: Use the convection setting on your oven. By circulating the air in the oven it reduces the chance of burning and helps everything cook evenly. This setting makes the oven run hot so reduce the temp by 25 degrees.
Melt butter in a small sauce pan. As butter melts drop in garlic cloves. With heat as low as it will go steep for 10-20 minuets.
Protip: This is a great opportunity to add more flavors. Season the butter. Add salt, pepper, or herbs such as a bouquet garni.
Slice the baguette into ¼ in. slices. Brush with butter and bake until lightly browned about 15 mins. turning half way through.
Notes
While these crostini have use on their own crostini work best as a base for hors d’ouevres. Get creative with toppings.
