CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the bread on both sides with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until crusty and brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn once about halfway through cooking, and dust with Parmesan, if using. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

THE CLASSIC GIN MARTINI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, combine the gin and vermouth, pouring more or less vermouth to your taste.
• Stir for 30 seconds .
• Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
• Add a dash of bitters, if desired.
• Garnish with a lemon twist or olives.

SIMPLE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange baguette slices on two large rimmed baking sheets; brush both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes (if undersides are not browning, turn crostini over once during baking). Let cool on baking sheets. Top crostini with desired toppings, and serve.

GARLIC PARMESAN PANETINI

Steps:

• 1. Slice baguettes diagonally about 1/4" thick.
• 2. Mix olive oil, granulated garlic and grated Parmesan in a bowl and lightly brush one side of each baguette slice. I prefer to use freshly grated Parmigiana Reggiano cheese, but I have used canned grated Parmesan in a pinch...
• 3. Put on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly toasted. Store in Zip-Lock bag.
• 4. These are the perfect base for my Baked Red Onion Preserves and Brie Panetini.

CROSTINI

Steps:

• Set the oven to broil at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, butter and garlic. Set over medium heat, and cook until butter has melted and the mixture starts to bubble. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Dip each slice of bread into the garlic mixture, turning to coat each side. Place Parmesan cheese on a plate. Press one side of each piece of bread into the cheese, and place cheese side up on a baking sheet.
• Broil on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
