I find the texture is best when using bread that is slightly stale, but fresh bread also works just as well here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:\u00a0<\/strong>The flavor of your olive oil with definitely shine through here, so I recommend choosing a good one! I prefer a fruity extra-virgin olive oil, but choose whatever flavor profile you love best that also pairs well with your crostini toppings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flaky sea salt: <\/strong>I highly recommend finishing the crostini with a sprinkling of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4cvb3Kt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">flaky sea salt<\/a> to bring out the flavor of the bread and olive oil and add a delicate crunch to each bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-3-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Crostini Tips<\/h2>\n<p>Detailed instructions for how to make crostini are included in the recipe below, but here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Choose good bread.\u00a0<\/strong>The quality of your bread really makes a difference here! I recommend a good, crusty, airy French baguette or any type of sourdough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut even slices on a slight diagonal.\u00a0<\/strong>Aim to cut the bread into uniformly-thick slices so that they will cook evenly. It&#8217;s easiest to do so using a bread knife (a serrated knife), and also recommend cutting the slices on a slight diagonal so that you have a bit more surface area to work with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use parchment paper.\u00a0<\/strong>In order to avoid sticking and make cleanup a bit easier, I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid overcrowding.\u00a0<\/strong>It&#8217;s essential that the crostini bake in a single layer (not overlapping) so that they can all cook evenly. I find that a batch of crostini made from a standard-sized French baguette will generally fit on a half sheet pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch closely.\u00a0<\/strong>Cooking time will depend on the type and thickness of your bread, so keep a close eye on the crostini during the last few minutes of cooking. The crostini will be ready once they&#8217;re lightly golden and crisp in the centers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store in an airtight container.\u00a0<\/strong>In order to maintain the crisp textures of the crostini, let them cool to room temperature and then store in an airtight container. They should keep well for at least a few days!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-8-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Crostini Variations<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few basic variations to this crostini recipe that you&#8217;re welcome to try. See notes in the section below for topping ideas too!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Grill the bread:\u00a0<\/strong>Cook the bread slices on a grill until crisp and golden.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use butter:\u00a0<\/strong>Spread softened butter on the bread slices instead of olive oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add garlic:\u00a0<\/strong>Rub raw garlic cloves on the crostini immediately after baking. (It&#8217;s easiest to do this once the bread is crisp. No need to peel the garlic cloves, just slice them in half and rub the cut-sides of the cloves on the bread.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add herbs or seasonings:\u00a0<\/strong>Sprinkle the bread with your favorite fresh or dried herbs and\/or seasonings before baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Parmesan:\u00a0<\/strong>Sprinkle the bread with a dusting of freshly-grated Parmesan halfway through baking so that the cheese does not burn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Crostini-Recipe-10-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">15 Ideas for Crostini Toppings<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for some quick and easy ideas for how to use crostini?
