Tuna and Herb Crostini Bites

Ingredients

• 200 grams tuna
• 12 pieces baguette slices
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 15 grams fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 piece garlic clove
• to taste salt

Cooking instructions

1. Prepare baguette slices — Slice the baguette into 12 thin rounds. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on one side.
2. Toast the baguette — Toast the oiled side of the baguette slices in a hot pan or oven until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare tuna mix — In a bowl, combine drained tuna with cream cheese, finely chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy, herb-infused tuna spread.
4. Prep garlic for rubbing — Cut the garlic clove in half. Rub the garlic cut side gently on the toasted baguette slices to impart subtle garlic flavor.
5. Assemble crostini bites — Spread a generous amount of the tuna herb mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
6. Serve — Arrange the crostini on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley leaves for freshness before serving.
