Golden, crispy crostini topped with buttery garlic, herbs and bubbling cheese, the easiest crowd-pleasing appetiser.

These cheesy garlic crostini are proof that the simplest ingredients often make the most irresistible bites. Crisp slices of bread are topped with garlic, fresh herbs and plenty of melty cheese, then baked until golden and bubbling. Making your own baguette definitely gives you brownie points, plus the flavour is entirely different! (Try it, go on!)

Perfect as a quick starter, party snack or something special to serve alongside soup or salad, these little toasts deliver big flavour with very little effort. They’re crunchy, cheesy, garlicky and impossible to stop at just one.

Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside a bowl of tomato soup for dipping.
Add to an antipasto platter with olives, cured meats and roasted vegetables.
Serve as a starter before pasta or Italian-style mains.
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes for a quick bruschetta-style twist.
Pair with a fresh green salad for a light lunch.
Serve with roasted capsicum or marinated artichokes.
Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze before serving.
Enjoy warm straight from the oven with a glass of wine.
