Anchovy Crostini

Anchovy Crostini


1. Cut 2" circles from the bread (or use the 1/4" baguette slices).

2. Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil.

3. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in moderate oven for 10 min or until golden brown (You can make up a whole lot of these toasts for future use as they store well in a closed tin).

4. Melt butter in a frypan.

5. Add flour, mixing well and cook for 1 minute.

6. Add milk and stir over moderate heat until it boils& thickens, remove from heat.

7. Add 3 tbsp parmesan,Salt& pepper& mushrooms.

8. Mix well.

9. Add anchovy paste and stir through. The mixture looks a bit loose but it will bake perfectly

10. Spread 2 teasp on each toast and generously sprinkle with the extra parmesan. I do this just before I am ready to bake them. however it can be done and then freeze them for future use

11. Slice the olives and put a slice of olive on some of the crostinis.

12. Put a rolled anchovy on some.

13. Put a thin slice on red pepper on the remaining crostinis.

14. Bake in a hot oven (400F degrees) for 10 minutes or until they are bubbly and brown on top.

15. Serve and wait for the rave revues.
