Anchovy Crostini image

This recipe was in the Australian Womens Weekly Italian cookbook. This crostini recipe is really good. My friends love them. I usually keep some toast rounds on hand so I can make them up in a hurry. Serve them at a cocktail party or as an appetizer before dinner. I make up a batch of the anchovie mix split it into four place each in small plastic bag & freeze for future use - , I have also frozen the toasts with the anchovie spread on them then just decorate before popping into the oven.. I prefer freezing the spread separately.

Time 35m

Yield 24 Crostini

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 slices white bread (or 24 slices of a baguette)
1 ounce virgin olive oil
1 1/2 ounces butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 ounces mushrooms, finely diced
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 (50 g) can rolled anchovy fillets
6 stuffed olives
1/4 red pepper
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut 2" circles from the bread (or use the 1/4" baguette slices).
  • Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil.
  • 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).
  • Melt butter in a frypan.
  • Add flour, mixing well and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add milk and stir over moderate heat until it boils& thickens, remove from heat.
  • Add 3 tbsp parmesan,Salt& pepper& mushrooms.
  • Mix well.
  • Add anchovy paste and stir through. The mixture looks a bit loose but it will bake perfectly
  • 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
  • Slice the olives and put a slice of olive on some of the crostinis.
  • Put a rolled anchovy on some.
  • Put a thin slice on red pepper on the remaining crostinis.
  • Bake in a hot oven (400F degrees) for 10 minutes or until they are bubbly and brown on top.
  • Serve and wait for the rave revues.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crostini didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for, and it turned out great.

The anchovy flavor is really strong in these crostini, so if you're not a fan of anchovies, you might not like them.
