Ingredients
1 baguette, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and Creole seasoning in a small bowl until well combined. Using a pastry brush, apply the seasoned oil evenly over both sides of each baguette slice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast for 7 to 8 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown and crispy while the centers remain slightly chewy. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Comments
This is a genuinely simple appetizer that delivers. All three ingredients are stocked at every Charlotte chain—baguette at Harris Teeter or Food Lion, olive oil anywhere, and creole seasoning (McCormick or similar) in the spice aisle without a special trip. At roughly $8 for a baguette, $6 for decent olive oil, and $3 for seasoning, you're looking at about 68 cents per crostini, which is reasonable for an appetizer. The stated 20 minutes is honest if you slice the baguette thin and toast it in the oven. The only real drawback is that these must be eaten fresh the day they're made—they don't reheat well and will go stale—so they're a same-night-only dish, which limits their place in a busy week's meal plan.
