Notes

For softer crostini, brush with less oil and bake for a shorter time.
Garlic flavor intensifies if using roasted garlic instead of raw.
Store leftover crostini in an airtight container for up to 3 days; re-crisp in the oven before serving.
Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano for varied flavors.
