  • Lemon zest for garnish

Quick Steps

Detailed Steps

  1. Prepare the anchovy herb butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped anchovies with softened butter. Add the chopped fresh basil and parsley, and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Prepare the baguette: Slice the baguette into rounds and toast them until they are golden brown. You can use a grill or oven to achieve the desired crispiness.
  3. Assemble the bruschetta: Spread a generous layer of the anchovy herb butter onto each toasted baguette slice. Make sure to cover the surface evenly for a balanced flavour.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle a small amount of lemon zest over each bruschetta to add a fresh, citrusy note that complements the richness of the anchovy butter.
  5. Serve: Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy as an appetiser. These are best served immediately for maximum flavour and texture.
