Homemade Crostini
Transform a simple baguette into perfectly crispy homemade crostini crackers! These versatile bites are the ideal base for toppings like bruschetta, creamy spreads, or even egg salad. I love getting some French bread from the store and not being worried about what to do with it before it gets stale.
