Notes

My Top Tips
♡ These can be baked lightly toasted, good for a soft bite, or fully toasted for a crisp bite.
♡ For a more toasty brown color, after baking turn off the oven and turn on the broil. Watch carefully so the toasts do not burn.
Make-Ahead & Storage
These Parmesan Crostini can be made up to two weeks ahead and stored at room temperature in a sealed, airtight container.
