Simple Crostini | Boys Over Flowers

(Originally published March 2015 for Fiction Kitchen Podcast Episode 10.)

     This simple crostini can be found in several episodes of the K-Drama version of "Boys Over Flowers" as part of the fancy lunch buffet in the Shinwa High School Cafeteria. They are so simple and tasty and perfect for a K-drama viewing party! Because these little guys are in the background you can't tell exactly what their layers are (something yellow, lettuce, & folded meat circle like pepperoni), but based on what we can see these are the ingredients I've come up with. :)


Shinwa High Crostini

---

1 Baguette
Mayonnaise, or your favorite spread
Cheddar Cheese AND/OR Yellow & Orange Sweet Peppers
Leafy Green
Genoa Salami OR Pepperoni

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Slice the baguette at a slight diagonal into 1/2" thick pieces. Arrange the pieces on a baking tray & spread the tops with mayo. If you're using cheddar, place thin slices of the cheese on top of the bread. Bake for about 5-6 minutes or until lightly crispy. Remove from the oven & let cool just a little.

If you're using sweet peppers (which I highly recommend) slice off the tops & cut down the middle. Remove the seeds & flatten the pepper halves. Place 1 half on top of each slice of bread & then top that with a piece of leafy green. Place a folded over pepperoni or genoa salami on top of each sandwich, securing it all with little wooden picks.
