- 1 small baguette
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 oz 'Nduja (spreadable spicy salami)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
How to make Spicy 'Nduja & Honey Garlic Crostini with Basil
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 cloves minced garlic to create a fragrant garlic oil.
- Arrange the 1/2-inch thick baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice generously with the garlic oil.
- Bake the crostini for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- While the crostini are cooling, prepare the 'Nduja. If your 'Nduja is very firm, you can gently warm it in a small pan over low heat for a minute or two to make it more spreadable, stirring constantly.
- Evenly spread a thin layer of the 'Nduja over each cooled garlic crostini. The 'Nduja's natural oils will slightly seep into the toasted bread.
- Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of honey over each crostini, allowing it to slightly pool and mix with the spicy 'Nduja.
- Garnish each crostini with a few pieces of finely shredded fresh basil leaves, which adds a refreshing herbaceous note.
- If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the crostini for an extra textural and flavor contrast. Serve immediately to enjoy the balance of spicy, sweet, and garlicky flavors.
