Easy And Delicious Black Truffle Crostini Recipes

EASY AND DELICIOUS BLACK TRUFFLE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
• Placed the slices of baguette on a baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Bake for 3-5 minutes each side until they are golden brown.
• Take a clove of garlic and gently rub on each piece of toasted baguette.
• Spread fresh ricotta on each slice (about 2 teaspoons).
• Sprinkle thyme leaves over the ricotta.
• Drizzle each piece with black truffle olive oil.
• Sprinkle each piece with a few flakes of Cyprus flake sea salt (do not overdo it, or it will be too salty).

SIMPLE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange baguette slices on two large rimmed baking sheets; brush both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes (if undersides are not browning, turn crostini over once during baking). Let cool on baking sheets. Top crostini with desired toppings, and serve.

CROSTINI WITH BLACK TRUFFLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Lay the bread slices flat on a baking sheet, and toast them in the oven for 4 minutes, turn the slices over, and toast for another 4 minutes or so, until they're light gold. Cool the toasts on a wire rack.
• If using a fresh truffle, brush it clean with a kitchen towel or vegetable brush. With a sharp vegetable peeler, shave off any tough bits from the exterior of the truffle (save these for sauces or other cooked dishes). Jarred truffles will be ready to use, without cleaning or trimming.
• Grate the truffle on the fine holes of a grater, reserving a small solid piece. Put the butter and anchovies in the mini-food processor, and pulse until smooth. Fold in the grated truffle.
• Spread the butter on the cooled crostini. Grate the reserved piece of truffle over the crostini, giving each one a dusting of truffle. Serve immediately.

WILD MUSHROOM CROSTINI

Steps:

• For mushroom topping:
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme. Sauté until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.
• For thyme vinaigrette:
• Blend first 4 ingredients in blender 10 seconds. With machine running, gradually add 1/2 cup olive oil; blend until almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bread on rimmed baking sheet. Brush with oil. Bake until beginning to crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Mound 1/4 cup mushrooms on each bread slice. Drizzle each with thyme vinaigrette, then sparingly with truffle oil.
