Fragrant Basil Crostini Rusks
Making Crispy Bread Rusks with Basil and Crunchy Rice Crostini
Making basil rusks from bread sounds delicious! I thought the basil powder would pair wonderfully with the savory rice crostini, so I decided to add them together. Let’s make savory basil rusks with rice crostini on top. We’ll bake them fragrantly in the oven. Enjoy this delightful treat!
Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- A pinch of basil powder (adjust to taste)
- A sprinkle of rice crostini
- 1 knob of butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make basil rusks topped with rice crostini, let me first tell you about the ingredients you’ll need!
Step 2
Shall we make some fragrant basil crostini? Please prepare 2 slices of bread.
Step 3
Next, cut each slice of bread into 4 long pieces lengthwise. They should be nice and elongated! Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for at least 20 minutes.
Step 4
Line your oven pan with baking parchment paper, and arrange the cut bread slices side-by-side.
Step 5
Now, we need to make the basil butter to spread on the bread! Place a knob of butter in a bowl.
Step 6
Microwave the butter for 1 minute until it’s completely melted.
Step 7
Add the basil powder to the melted butter.
Step 8
Using a teaspoon, mix the butter and basil powder thoroughly until well combined. Stir, stir! Now your basil butter for the rusks is ready!!
Step 9
Gently spread the basil butter onto the bread slices arranged on the oven pan.
Step 10
Then, sprinkle the savory rice crostini over the top. Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle! This adds a wonderful texture.
Step 11
Here’s the visual of the basil rusks before they go into the oven! Even without tasting them yet, I have a strong feeling they’re going to be delicious! Yum yum!
Step 12
Place the prepared basil rusks in the oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. *Please note that the baking time and temperature may vary slightly depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the rusks as they bake and adjust the oven’s temperature and time accordingly.*
Step 13
Carefully remove the golden brown and crispy basil rusks from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 14
The unique aroma and taste of basil pair incredibly well with the savory crunch of the rice crostini. Plus, because we generously spread basil butter on the bread and baked it, they are wonderfully moist inside while being crisp on the outside! In a word, they are ‘crispy outside, moist inside’ (겉바속촉)! Enjoy!
