Crostini & Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crostini

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet, brush both sides with olive oil, and bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Add balsamic vinegar and stir, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Crostini

    On each crostini, layer a slice of the pepper-encrusted beef, followed by a spoonful of caramelized onions, and finally sprinkle with crumbled bleu cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the assembled crostini on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
