A simple toasted slice of bread that can be the beginning of gourmet dips, sauces and salads.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 20 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick, of day old french or italian bread
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• preheated oven at 350F
• baking sheet pan

1. 
    
   oven

   Preheat oven to 350F, place bread slices on the baking sheet.

   Brush each with olive oil.

   Bake until crisp and lightly golden, usually about 10 minutes. Serve with almost anything, for example dips, salads, sandwich condiments, or plain.

Tips & Warnings

• Drop a crushed clove of garlic in the olive oil for extra flavor.
• The possibilities are endless, spinach dips...tomato salads...sauteed mushrooms.
• Always set a timer, I am imfamous for burning the first set of crostini.
• Ovens are hot, use pot holders and other safety devices so you don't spend your party in the emergency room.
