BLT Crostini Appetizers

Step 1

Preheat the oven to the Broil or Toast setting.

Step 2

Cut the baguettes in 1/2 inch slices on the diagonal.

Step 3

Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.

Step 4

Broil just until the edges are lightly browned. Watch carefully so the little toasts don’t burn. (In my oven this took a little less than 3 minutes.)

Step 5

Turn the toasts over, brush with the remaining butter, and broil until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Spread each of the little toasts with mayonnaise.

Step 7

Sprinkle each toast with some of the chopped lettuce.

Step 8

Top each toast with pieces of broken bacon.

Step 9

Top each toast with two cherry tomato halves.

Step 10

Arrange on a platter, serve and enjoy! Makes 24 pieces.
