Ingredients

10 ciabatta slices (or baguette)
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
½ tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

Slice the ciabatta bread and cut 1 cm / ½-inch thick, ideally on the diagonal.
Brush or spray only one side of the bread slices with about 3 teaspoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the herbs.
Grease a pan or skillet with the remaining olive oil, heat over medium heat, and add the bread slices, herbed side down. Cook for 5 minutes or until the herbed sides turn lightly crisp and the edges golden.
Turn the bread upside down and cook for a further 3 minutes. The other sides don't need to be brushed with oil.
Remove the crostini from the pan and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days, but when it's time to serve them, I recommend warming them up in the oven or on the stove.
