Ingredients

  • 1 loaf baguette
  • 4 oz ham
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • ¼ cup pickled red peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and brush both sides with the 2 tbsp olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Toast the bread in the oven until golden and crisp, about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. The edges should be lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Top each crostini with a slice of ham, a slice of hard-boiled egg, and a sprinkle of the 1/2 cup shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely so the edges don't burn.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and top with the 1/4 cup chopped pickled red peppers. Serve warm.
