Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Fresh mozzarella
- 6 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 12 even slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 5
While the crostini are baking, prepare the anchovy sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Finely chop the garlic and anchovy fillets. Add them to the saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the anchovies dissolve and the mixture is fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 8
Slice the fresh mozzarella into thin rounds.
Step 9
To assemble, place a slice of mozzarella on each crostini. Drizzle a small amount of the anchovy sauce over the mozzarella.
Step 10
Arrange the crostini on a serving platter, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
