Snacks are the way forward in this house

My husband loves snacks, little nibbly bits that you can easily pop into your mouth and then move on to another flavour. I wouldn't say he had a favourite snack, he just likes snacks. Our son is following in his footsteps, this has been the first year that he has understood who Father Christmas is and when asked what he would like as a present would normally answer with 'snacks'! My husband is also becoming quite skilled in the kitchen and is happy cooking for us as a family. This snack though is one of his specialities and we all enjoy the results. Ours tend to get eaten with slices of cheese but they could be used for all kinds of toppings and even broken up into croutons.

Easy Bruschetta

1 or 2 day old baguette

A little olive oil

Salt & pepper (optional)

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C
  2. Thinly slice the bread and spread the pieces out onto a large oven tray. Drizzle over the olive oil. If you are using seasoning sprinkle this over now.
  3. Put in the oven for 15 minutes, half way through turn the pieces over so that both sides brown evenly. Keep an eye on them as they burn very quickly.
  4. They will keep for about a week or more in an air tight container, if they don't get eaten first!
