Ingredients
Base
- 1 baguette, sliced (use keto bread if desired)
- 1 tbsp butter
Topping
- 1 large apple, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for toasting and melting the cheese.
- Toast Bread: Spread butter on both sides of the baguette slices and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add Toppings: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and layer each slice with thin apple slices followed by shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bake Until Melted: Return the topped crostini to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly.
Notes
- For a lower carb option, substitute keto bread or cheese crisps as the crostini base.
- Add a drop of sugar-free honey-style syrup on top for a touch of sweetness without extra sugar.
