Notes
To toast baguette slices, spread them out on a baking sheet and brush them with a little extra-virgin olive oil on both sides. Bake at 375°F for 7 - 8 minutes, turning over halfway through until golden brown.The crostini should be slightly crispy on top but the inside should be tender. If the oven temperature is too low, the bread slices will bake and become hard.
