Blt Crostini Mini Open Faced Sandwiches Recipes

CHEESY BLT CROSTINI

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the baguette slices on a foil lined baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray. Flip the slices over and spray the other side as well. Place the baguette slices in the oven for 10-14 minutes until the edges are golden.*
• Place the cheese wedges in a dish or on a plate and use a butter knife to mash the wedges and stir them into a creamy spread. Spread each toasted baguette slice with the cheese, dividing it evenly amongst the bread (each slice will get ½ a wedge of cheese).
• Layer about a tablespoon of shredded lettuce, a half piece of bacon and half a tomato over the cheese on each crostini and serve.
• *If you are only using a few crostini for a snack, you can either make all the baguette slices at once and use them as needed for a few days (store in a sealed zip-top bag) or you can just make the toasted baguette slices as needed. I like making all of them at once because then they're ready when I want to eat them!
