**Each serving is 1 crostini**

Tips and Tricks for Success

Makes sure the baking dish has a full and even layer of parmesan covering the bottom for maximum crostini coverage.

Once you press the sliced baguette into the baking dish leave it along. Moving the pieces of bread around will prevent the glorious parmesan 'overhang' from forming, which is one of the best parts!

Be sure to leave a small amount of space between each slice of baguette, in the baking dish, to ensure even baking. This will also help to create the parmesan 'overhang' on each crostini.

Storing Instructions

These parmesan crusted crostini taste best when enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they also store well in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
