Steps:
- Slice baguette crosswise 1/2 inch thick, and toast on a rimmed baking sheet in a 375 degree oven. Meanwhile, place egg yolks, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add olive oil in a slow and steady stream, and pulse to emulsify. Add parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Pulse about 5 times to combine. Spread aioli onto toasted baguette slices.
Tips:
- For a smoother aioli, use a food processor or blender instead of whisking by hand.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use 1/4 cup of dried parsley.
- Be sure to use a good quality bread for the crostini. A sturdy bread will hold up better to the aioli and toppings.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought crostini instead of making your own.
- Get creative with your toppings! Try different combinations of cheese, meats, and vegetables.
