    Ingredients

    • 1 French baguette
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
    • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Anchovy and Garlic Bruschetta
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F)
    • Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds
    • Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking tray
    • Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on one side
    • Place tray in the oven and toast for 7–8 minutes until golden and crisp
    • While toasting, finely mince the garlic cloves
    • In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, anchovy paste, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to form a smooth spread
    • Once toasted, remove baguette slices from oven and allow to cool slightly
    • Spread a thin layer of the anchovy-garlic mixture onto each baguette slice
    • Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the bruschetta
    • Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over each piece
    • Add chopped fresh parsley for brightness and color
    • Season with a minimal pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (anchovy paste is already salty)
    • Arrange finished bruschetta attractively on a platter
    • Serve immediately while still slightly warm, as a starter or tapas
    • Optional: Garnish plate with extra parsley or sun-dried tomatoes for presentation
