Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 stalks green onions
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 12 thin slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush each slice of baguette with olive oil on both sides.
Step 4
Bake the slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Crumble the bacon into small pieces once cooled.
Step 6
Thinly slice the green onions, both the white and green parts.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Step 8
Fold in the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions, reserving a small amount of each for garnish.
Step 9
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the toasted baguette slices.
Step 10
Garnish each crostini with a few crumbles of bacon and slices of green onion.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy!
