Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place the whole baguette on the sheet pan. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, until hard and crusty. Remove to a cutting board to cool.
  • Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice the baguette into rounds. Arrange on the baking sheet.
  • Slather each piece of bread with about 1 teaspoon of the onions, and mound 1-2 teaspoons of cheese on top, depending on the size of your baguette. You want a good layer of onions and a sizable mound of cheese.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place the baking sheet under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Allow the crostini to cool slightly on the sheet.
  • Arrange the crostini on platters and serve warm.
