Ingredients (for 20 mini crostini)
- 1 rustic baguette or homemade bread
- 50g of truffle butter Lina Sapori e Delizie
- 2 tablespoons of chopped toasted hazelnuts
- Flaked sea salt to taste (optional)
Preparation
- Slice the bread thinly (about 1 cm) and toast lightly in the oven at 180°C for 5 minutes, until crispy but not dry.
- Spread a thin layer of Lina Sapori e Delizie truffle butter on each slice while the bread is still warm to release the aroma.
- Finish with a pinch of chopped toasted hazelnuts.
- If you want a more elegant touch, add a flake of salt or a small fresh thyme leaf.
Why it works
-
Scent and harmony: the truffle butter releases an unmistakable aroma that immediately captivates, while the hazelnuts enhance its richness.
-
Balanced contrasts: the crispness of the bread meets the creaminess of the butter and the light crunch of the chopped nuts.
-
Surprise effect: a simple but distinctive bite, ideal for welcoming guests with elegance.
Texture
- Bread crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside.
- Soft and aromatic butter that melts with the first bite.
- Chopped hazelnuts that give crunch and a pleasant sweet-bitter aftertaste.
Tips and pairings
- Excellent accompaniment for a glass of Pignoletto Vivace or for the Orange & Truffle Mocktail.
- You can serve the crostini on small wooden boards, alternating them with other versions with truffle sauce or green sauce to create a “trilogy of taste from Lina Sapori e Delizie”.
- If preparing in advance, keep them covered with plastic wrap and briefly warm them before serving.
