Recipe View 5 mins Broil on the middle rack of the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until the crostini are gloriously golden brown and the Parmesan cheese is melted and slightly crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (8 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture for a subtle kick.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Pecorino Romano or Asiago are excellent alternatives to Parmesan.
Crostini are best served immediately while still warm and crispy. However, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though they may lose some of their crispness.
Elevate your crostini by topping them with various spreads, such as pesto, tapenade, or ricotta cheese with a drizzle of honey.
