Crostini with olive oil and garlic is a simple yet exquisite dish from the depths of European cuisine, especially popular in Italy. Crispy baguette, lightly toasted under the grill, acquires a golden crust, while the rich aroma of garlic and the softness of extra virgin olive oil create a delightful combination of flavors. Salty notes complement the texture, making this recipe ideal for both a light snack and as an accompaniment to wine evenings. Crostini pairs wonderfully with cheese, herbs, or tomatoes, allowing for experimentation with toppings. Due to their simplicity and elegance, they have become an integral part of festive tables and cozy family dinners.
