Bread and butter, that's the ingredient list for these Whole Grain Bread Crisps. Simple, basic, ordinary... transformed into extraordinary!

These Whole Grain Bread Crisps may look a bit like regular old crostini but they're fooling you. I've made tons of crostini in the past for all kinds of bruschettas, appetizers, to accompany soups etc., but they've never been anything like these delicious, shatteringly crisp Whole Grain Bread Crisps!

What's the difference? Butter, plain and simple. I've always used olive oil for my crostini and while they come out delicious, butter makes these crisps extraordinary.
The other difference is that the bread is sliced super thin. Use a sharp knife to slice the bread as thin as possible before brushing with the fragrant melted butter. Then pop the whole works in the oven for 15-20 minutes and a magical transformation takes place that nothing short of amazing. Golden, shatteringly crisp shards of crazy delicious crackers!

These aren't hard and crunchy crisp like crostini but super delicate. They're perfect on their own for an amazing nibble and wonderful alongside just about any dip or spread . Oh, and once you make these once, you'll never let another day old baguette go to waste!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 whole grain baguette,  preferably an open-textured baguette, two to three days old - this will make it much easier to slice very thin
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • sea salt

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350ËšF.
  2. Using a very sharp knife, slice the bread on a diagonal as thinly as possible (â…›-inch or less). Arrange on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, brush melted butter on both sides of the bread slices. Sprinkle sea salt over the top of the bread. You will probably need at least two sheet pans as one baguette will make a ton of crisps
  3. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, until the bread is nicely browned and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

    1. Hi Debbie, they keep quite well for at least 4-5 days. Maybe longer but they never last that long 🙂

  3. I would gobble these up on their own. It's true... butter makes everything taste better!

  4. You can't imagine how big the "yum" is that's echoing through my mind at the thought of those bread crisps. They're like a slightly healthier but better tasting version of potato chips! Butter and bread. Nothing beats it. YUM!
