Garlic-Herb Butter Crostini

A hearty bowl of minestrone or pumpkin soup would pair so well with these garlic crostini (means "little toasts" in Italian), paving a perfect way to brunch-ing at home, especially when you just want one comforting meal in between breakfast and lunch. That makes Monthly Mingle - Brunch at What's for Lunch, Honey.


You do not need a full-range oven for this. A small little toaster oven will do the job. And even a better deal - you can use "old" baguette (bread) and inject new life into that dry loaf of mass.



Garlic-Herb Butter Crostini
Ingredients: Baguette, thinly sliced; unsalted butter; garlic, finely minced; dried herbs (basil, oregano), salt
Directions: Preheat toaster oven at "Bake". When the butter is slightly soft (at room temperature), add in the minced garlic and herbs, then mix them thoroughly into the butter. Spread the garlic-herb butter on one side of the bread slice, then place the bread slices (slathered side up) onto a tray laid with Al foil. Set oven to "Toast" and toast for about 12-15minutes till the bread becomes toasted, golden brown.



Enjoy *crunch crunch*  ...

Baguette doesn't mean old bread! It's just a particular type and shape of bread, but it can be fresh or stale like anything else.

Wilfrid said...

I often think. Would fresh baguette make better crostini than old ones? That applies to many food that take two stages to cook in general ...

I feel sad that I couldn't make the Crostini as like as your crunchy one.

Many of the necessary vitamins are found in garlic as a natural antibiotic and food should be consumed in more than gives great flavor
