Herb Buttered Crostini

Herb buttered crostini spread out on a cast iron pan.

Perfect for serving with dips!

I love serving this alongside melted brie or a quick chicken salad. It’s the perfect base recipe for creating a party platter or pairing with another appetizer. The herbed butter comes together easily with just a few ingredients and is also ideal for making quick garlic bread. My son instantly fell in love with this recipe and has asked me to make it again!

I hope that you will give it a try and let me know how it turns out once you make it.

Making the Recipe

This recipe can be broken down into three easy steps. First, prepare the herbed butter, then cut the bread and spread it with the butter. Finally, bake until golden brown. This is a great way to use up leftover parsley. I prefer using garlic paste because the tubes are easy to use and deliver a strong flavor. They also keep well in the fridge for a long time if I go through a busy period and have limited time to cook.
