Crostini

Method

Crostini Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic clove and slice it in half.

  4. 4

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each slice with olive oil.

  5. 5

    Toast the Baguette

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Rub with Garlic

    Once out of the oven, immediately rub the toasted side of each crostini with the cut side of the garlic clove.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with Salt

    Lightly sprinkle salt over the crostini while they are still warm.

Tapenade Preparation

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Blend the Tapenade

    Pulse the mixture until it reaches a coarse consistency. Be careful not to over-process; you want to maintain some texture.

  3. 10

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning with more black pepper or lemon juice if desired.
