Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1 1/4-pound eggplant, trimmed, halved lengthwise
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons canned low-salt chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes with added puree
2 tablespoons dry white wine
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 1/2-inch-thick country-style whole wheat bread slices (each about 5x3 inches), toasted, quartered

  • Top the crostini with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities, so get creative! Some popular options include eggs, olives, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese.
  • Serve the crostini immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
