INGREDIENTS
For the White Bean Spread:
2 cups Cannelini or Northern Beans
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp water
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 clove garlic
salt and fresh pepper
Crostini:
8-1/2 ” piece of baguette, 4 oz, sliced into 1/4″ pieces
garlic clove
olive oil spray
extra thyme for garnish
balsamic vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the bread into 1/4″ thin slices.
You can toast these in the oven with a little olive oil spray at 400° turning once until toasted or grill them. I used my George Forman grill to toast them with a light spray of olive oil.
Once the bread is toasted, lightly rub it with a garlic clove cut in half. Now your bread is ready to top.
Pureé in a small blender or magic bullet all the ingredients for the white bean spread. If it”s too dry you can add a little more water.
Top each piece with 2 tsp of white bean puree and garnish with fresh thyme.
Drizzle with a touch of balsamic right before serving.
