Bread Preparation
Slice the Bread
Using a sharp knife, slice the French baguette into six equal pieces, each about 1/2 inch thick.
Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Prepare the Topping
Chop Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mix Ingredients
Add the Italian dressing, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh basil to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Add Cheese
Grate or crumble the Romano cheese and mix it into the vegetable mixture, reserving a small amount for garnishing the crostini.
