Step 1

Heat oven to 375° F.

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to slice a baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Cut slightly on the diagonal.

Step 3

Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Space on a baking sheet and place in pre-heated oven. Bake for 7 - 8 minutes or until golden brown, flipping once halfway through. Crostini should be lightly browned, lightly toasted but still a little "springy" in the middle.

Step 5

Remove from oven and rub with a cut garlic clove.

Step 6

Add your choice of toppings. (see 10 ideas in the blog post)
