Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 day old French baguette
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  • Slice the baguette crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices, cutting diagonally so that you get the longest slices possible ( see the shape of the slices in the photos)
  • In a small bowl, stir together the butter and olive oil.
  • If you want any flavor additions, mix them into the butter compound now.
  • Use a brush to spread the butter compound onto the top of each slice of bread. Make sure that you are only putting on a thin layer otherwise the crostini won't crisp up in the oven, they will be slightly spongy instead.
  • Place the slices onto a cookie sheet buttered side up.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are toasted and hardened.
  • Remove and cool completely before storing in a container or plastic bag at room temp.
