Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf sourdough bread (try my homemade recipe or use similar-textured bread)
- butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Slice sourdough to desired thickness and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Cook for 4 minutes, turn slices over and cook for another 4 minutes.

Notes
Simple variations to this recipe can be made such as:
- Adding crushed garlic or garlic powder to the butter
- Replacing the butter with Parmesan or another type of cheese.
For :
- Lighter, crispier crostini- slice them thin (1/4-1/2″).
- Thicker crostini- like those used in French Onion Soup, or for Bruschetta, you’ll want them closer to 1″ thick.
