Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 baguette cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 can 15 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons Bruschetta Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • Pinch red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet For toasting the bread
  • 1 sheet Parchment paper Keeps cleanup easy
  • 2 Mixing bowl One for beans, one for tomatoes
  • 1 Fork or potato masher To mash the bean spread
  • 1 Spoon For topping and drizzling
  • 1 Microplane or grater For the garlic

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2. Arrange the baguette slices on the sheet, brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
  3. 3. While the bread toasts, mash the cannellini beans with lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until mostly smooth with a little texture left.
  4. 4. Stir the diced tomatoes and red onion together in a small bowl.
  5. 5. Spoon the white bean mixture onto each toasted slice, spreading it evenly from edge to edge.
  6. 6. Top with the tomato mixture, then drizzle each crostini with Bruschetta Infused Olive Oil Blend.
  7. 7. Finish with feta cheese, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes if using, then serve right away while the bread is still crisp.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the tomato topping fairly dry and assemble just before serving. If you want a softer, creamier spread, add a little more olive oil to the beans and mash until it reaches your preferred texture.
