I was looking for a basic crostini recipe and this was it. I brushed both sides with a mixture of olive oil and bottled pureed roasted garlic. I cut some on the diagonal and others (for appetizers) straight down. Will make again for sure. Update: I have discovered that bottled roasted garlic olive oil (in Canada there is a President Choice brand of this) lightly brushed on each side is very quick, easy and tasty. When I see half priced day-old baguettes, I usually pick up one or 2, slice and the freeze to have on hand when I want to make crostini.
