🥄 1 cup labneh
🫙 Olive tapenade, as needed

Instructions

1- Prepare the Baguette:

Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Slice the baguette into ¼-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over each baguette slice to give a nice, even coat.

2- Broil the Bread:

Place the tray under the broiler.
Broil the baguette slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown.
Keep a close eye to avoid burning. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

3- Assemble the Crostini:

Spread a generous amount of labneh on each cooled baguette slice.
Top each one with approximately 1 tablespoon of olive tapenade. Feel free to adjust according to taste.
Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top of each crostini for a burst of color and flavor.

4- Serve and Enjoy:

Arrange the crostini on a serving platter.
Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of crispness and creaminess.
