White Bean Crostini

5 from 4 votes

Crostini are fun, bite-sized appetizers made of little slices of toasted baguette and topped with whatever your heart desires. For this crostini recipe, I used a healthy white bean topping drizzled with balsamic.

Equipment

sheet pan

Ingredients

For the White Bean Spread:

2 cups canned Cannelini or Northern Beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
4 tbsp water
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 clove garlic
kosher salt (and fresh pepper)

Crostini:

8 1/2 inch piece of baguette ( (4 oz total) sliced into 1/4" thin slices)
1 garlic clove
olive oil spray
extra fresh thyme for garnish
balsamic vinegar (for drizzling)

Instructions

Cut the bread into 1/4" thin slices.
You can toast these in the oven with a little olive oil spray at 400F turning once until toasted or grill them with a light spray of olive oil until golden.
Once the bread is toasted, lightly rub it with a garlic clove cut in half. Now your bread is ready to top.
Pureé in a small blender or magic bullet all the ingredients for the white bean spread. If it's too dry you can add a little more water.
Top each piece with 2 teaspoons of the white bean puree and garnish with fresh thyme.
Drizzle with a touch of balsamic right before serving.
