Laurie's Sea Salt & Herb Crostini

Laurie's go-to recipe is an appetizer, and inclusive of prep, it can be made and enjoyed in less than 15 minutes. {Practical & Pretty tip: If your guests don't finish the crostini app, refrigerate and make into croutons. Just heat up a little olive oil in a pan, crumble up the crostini, and quickly sear them in the hot oil to make the actual crouton! -Laurie}

Ingredients

• 1 Baguette
• 4 ounces Melted butter
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• Sea salt
• Fresh basil
• Burrata
• Balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.Slice down a baguette into small pieces.Baste each piece with melted butter.Sprinkle evenly with parmesan.Bake until the cheese starts to bubble, approximately 5 minutes.Remove from oven and add a fresh piece of basil to each toast.Top with a spread of burrata cheese and a drizzle of balsamic.Note: Just the crostini alone (without the burrata + balsamic) can be served with dried meats, different cheeses, chimichurri, etc. It's just a nice elevated bite before dinner. I also like to do the same recipe and replace the butter with truffle oil and replace the basil with pinches of rosemary.
