Ingredients
- Sliced French baguette in stylish diagonal cuts measuring half an inch, drizzled with luscious extra virgin olive oil. Indulge in 4 ounces of decadent dark chocolate, expertly broken into one-inch pieces. Finish off with a sprinkle of flaked sea salt, adding a tantalizing touch of flavor.
Step 1
Begin by preheating the broiler in your oven and adjusting the rack to about 6 inches from the heat source. For easy cleanup, consider lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Next, lay out the baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Slide the sheet under the broiler and let them toast until they turn a lovely golden color, which usually takes about 2 minutes. Then, flip each slice and broil for an additional 2 minutes before turning off the broiler.
Step 3
Once again, flip the slices over and generously drizzle them with olive oil. Nestle a piece of chocolate into the center of each slice and return the baking sheet to the oven for another 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt slightly. When done, take the sheet out of the oven and delicately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each chocolate-topped slice for a delightful finish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your chocolate in a cool, dark place to prevent melting and maintain its smooth texture.
- 2. Store your sea salt in an airtight container to preserve its freshness and flavor.
- 3. Keep your crostini in a sealed bag or container to prevent them from getting stale.
