A delightful Spanish-inspired appetizer featuring crispy baguette slices topped with savory ham and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crisping of the baguette slices.
Slice the baguette into thin rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Cut the slices evenly to ensure uniform toasting.
Brush each baguette slice with olive oil and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the slices to prevent over-toasting.
Rub the toasted baguette slices with a cut clove of garlic for added flavor.
This step infuses the bread with a subtle garlic aroma.
Top each slice with a piece of Serrano ham and a sprinkle of shredded Manchego cheese.
Layer the toppings evenly for a balanced bite.
Return the crostini to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Watch closely to avoid burning the cheese.
Serve the crostini warm and enjoy.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
