Baby Spanish Tostadas – Garlic and Tomato-Rubbed Crostini Bites

This humble toast hails from Barcelona, Spain, although you will find versions of this simple toast served across the country.
It reminds me a bit of Italian bruschetta, although it’s much lighter, with less toppings. I love making this because it’s really easy!
The following recipe provides roughly twenty, bite-sized crostini bites.

Baby Spanish Tostadas - Garlic and Tomato-Rubbed Crostini Bites

This humble toast hails from Barcelona, Spain, although you will find versions of this simple toast served across the country.
It reminds me a bit of Italian bruschetta, although it’s much lighter, with less toppings. I love making this because it’s really easy!
The following recipe provides roughly twenty, bite-sized crostini bites.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of baguette-style bread (sliced into roughly 20 slices)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 whole garlic cloves (for rubbing on the toasted crostini)
  • 3 Roma tomatoes (or any ripe tomato, for rubbing on the bread)
  • Extra olive oil (for drizzling on top.)

Instructions 

  • Slice your bread into small bite-sized crostini, and arrange the slices onto a parchment-lined sheet tray.
  • Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the slices.
  • Place the slices in the oven, and toast until lightly crispy, or about eight minutes.
  • Remove the crostini from the oven, and gently rub the raw garlic cloves over the surface of each slice.
  • *This step imparts some subtle garlic flavor to each slice of bread.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half, and rub the flesh and seeds of the tomato into the surface of the crostini.
  • Discard the tomato skins.
  • Drizzle the crostini with some extra olive oil, and arrange on a serving tray.
  • Serve warm, with extra napkins.

Notes

These are best served and eaten while the crostini are still warm. If you are trying to splurge, serve these with a bit of Spanish jamon or Italian prosciutto on top—it’s revelatory.
