Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 200 grams Swiss cheese
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick rounds, about 12-16 slices depending on the size of the loaf.
Step 3
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle both sides with olive oil.
Step 4
Bake the slices in the oven for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are lightly golden and crispy.
Step 5
While the bread toasts, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Grate or thinly slice the Swiss cheese into portions that will fit each baguette slice.
Step 7
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. Using a brush or spoon, spread a small amount of the garlic butter onto each slice.
Step 8
Top each slice with a piece of Swiss cheese.
Step 9
Return the crostini to the oven for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Step 10
Once done, sprinkle a pinch of thyme, salt, and black pepper over the top of each crostini for garnish.
Step 11
Serve the Swiss Cheese Crostini warm and enjoy!
