Ingredients
1 whole Baguette, very thinly sliced on the bias
2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the baguette on a 45-degree angle into very thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on two baking sheets.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil over both sides of each baguette slice, using a pastry brush to distribute evenly if desired.
Season each slice with a light pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, stirring the baking sheets and flipping the slices halfway through, until the slices are golden brown and crispy throughout. Do not allow them to burn.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. The toasts will continue to crisp as they cool.
Comments
This recipe is honest and practical: a fresh baguette from any Charlotte chain—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart all stock them daily—sliced, oiled, seasoned, and toasted costs roughly 30 cents per serving and requires no special shopping. The stated 30 minutes is accurate if you count oven time; active prep is under five minutes. The real strength is the yield and shelf life: 40 crackers reheat perfectly or store dry for days, making this a genuine weeknight helper for snacks or breadstuff alongside soup. The only minor note is that the recipe's simplicity can feel thin if not paired intentionally—these are a component, not a standalone meal.
